Forerunner 570 just silently lost my GPS track (after locking it in). Distance & pace recorded, map gone, no warning. A GPS watch should never let this happen. Why should I babysit a design flaw? @Garmin

@vault22_io Still broken

[Adam Barnes @GetDownAdam]

The department of @HomeAffairsSA - “getting the basics right”. Are we talking “identifying colours” or “replying to emails”, because you haven’t got the latter right yet, @Leon_Schreib

[Adam Barnes @GetDownAdam]

@abel82308348 @Leon_Schreib It’s like the new minister and @homeaffairs have set a “good news only” filter.

[Adam Barnes @GetDownAdam]

@Leon_Schreib But can you guys give me a passport? Clearly not. Even after making me pay for it twice. And then I just get totally ignored in person, by the call centre, by email, on Twitter. How’s that for a great anecdote?

[Adam Barnes @GetDownAdam]

@HomeAffairsSA Whats this story with you guys replying to everyone else but not me? Am I blocked? 😅

[Adam Barnes @GetDownAdam]

@HomeAffairsSA It is actually laughable how you guys cannot respond to a query in any channel we try and contact you.

[Adam Barnes @GetDownAdam]

@Leon_Schreib Easier said than done- your system is clearly broken. I’d start with answering the phone and replying to emails before increasing your workload.

[Adam Barnes @GetDownAdam]

Don’t want to distract you all from lunch @HomeAffairsSA @Leon_Schreib but PLEASE tell me how to get a response from you. Your call centre drops calls, email goes unanswered and your branches refer me to different branches because they’re offline.

[Adam Barnes @GetDownAdam]

Dear @Leon_Schreib and @HomeAffairsSA - How many escalators are at your head office? The reason I ask is that my query has been escalated for three weeks now, and it’s nowhere close to getting to an answer. All I want is a passport 🤷🏻‍♂️ Ref 2408785034

[Adam Barnes @GetDownAdam]

@HomeAffairsSA Your call centre keeps dropping calls and there’s no response to emails. Any update on case number 2408785034?

[Adam Barnes @GetDownAdam]

@22seven What’s up with FNB accounts at the moment? Any ETA of a fix?

[Adam Barnes @GetDownAdam]

@STANLIB @Tae_Geez This is horrible social media management. Do you really need your customers to tell you that your online site has a problem?

[Adam Barnes @GetDownAdam]

@10Xinvestments Hi guys... considering Outvest and Sygnia, are you planning on dropping your fees or are we planning on moving our RAs?

[Adam Barnes @GetDownAdam]

@OneDayOnlycoza Whoops. Must say I’m excited to read the email explaining the balls up. Should be a laugh.

@rorymerrittmd Well. We’re waiting! What’s the answer?

[Adam Barnes @GetDownAdam]

@sarahkbarnes Ducktales or Indiana Jones or something.
