\"\"<\/a>The Sweet Service Award<\/b> goes to the Addictions ice cream shop in the Camps Bay Promenade, and its staff, for their generous scoops, inexpensive price, and good service for ice creams I have become ….. addicted to. Sometimes they are short of change, and take less money or ask me to pay the following day. If I have forgotten my purse at home and I have an Addictions attack, they allow me to pay the following day. An excellent relationship of trust. Yesterday I took my son and his partner there, and they received extra large scoops of ice cream. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Sour Service Award<\/b> goes to Vodacom in the Waterfront for their continued poor service. Last week I went to pay my bill, and was served by a lady assistant, asking her three times to print out the invoice. Once she\u2019d taken my payment, she told me that she did not have the authority to print invoices! I then had to go to another colleague so that he could do it, my time in the shop taking twice as long. As the invoice showed a larger amount owing compared to my usual monthly charge, I wanted to query this. But the person who handles account queries in the shop only works until 17h00! So now my account has not been reactivated, despite my payment, I being reliant on WiFi to operate it. In the past my payments were immediately acknowledged via SMS, but I do not receive these either anymore! <\/p>\n
