\"\"<\/a>The Sour Service Award<\/b> goes to Olga Jewelry Design Studio in the V&A Waterfront, and its sales person Sandra Weichbold, who was rude when I wanted to proceed with my order to have a tanzanite and diamond eternity ring manufactured. Sandra did not bother to come to the counter when I arrived, and then struggled to find the quotation that Debby had sent me. I had to provide the details to her. She told me that I was rude, when I asked what was taking her so long to find the quote, and that is when I left the shop and cancelled the ring manufacture! What a blessing it was, finding the perfect ring at Tanur jewelers, also in the Waterfront.<\/p>\n
