Shame on me for thinking good service didn’t
exist in my environs. Now check this, I went to get myself electricity units at
the sales point. I gave the money and card to the sales girl. She slot my card
in the machine, then looked up and said to me; “why don’t you wait and buy the
units tomorrow”. Say what?
I am buying credit and she was refusing to
sell? Her reason was that I was about to purchase electricity credits twice in
the same month which meant I would receive 100 units less than my usual take
for the same amount of money. I mean, last time I bought electricity units was
June 2 and here I was meaning to buy some more on June 29 simply because I knew
in a matter of days I would run out of credit. Rather than thank me for my
patronage and probably urge me to buy more with a rebate, the “system” was
about to sell me 170units of electricity instead of about 271 units at the same
cost! That’s stealing, plain and simple.
“That’s how the system works”, she said, “I
hope you have enough units for the day. Just come back tomorrow by 2pm”. And
she gave me back my money and card. Well, well, well, I couldn’t believe she
was being so nice. I don’t know what moved her to this commendable act but I am
certainly not complaining and I am not going to spoil the experience with the reminder
that the “system” is ... no, I won’t. Thankfully I had enough credit to run on
so a day’s wait was nothing compared to losing 100 units of electricity. In
fact I still have not bought any yet.
Is that awesome service or what?
