I would have spoken to the manager, had he even been in the store!!!! of course i asked, but 'madam he is back at 5pm'... stock reply - i went back, surprise surprise he was not there.
I have a job here, and frankly cannot stalk out the joint to see his comings/goings and throw myself upon him!!?
I was asking for advice on recourse - i'm not so thick that i wouldn't have tried the most logical thing, and talked to the manager before posting on this forum!!
And i did talk to the bank, but having a UK bank follow this up - as i used my UK debit card, is not as easy as having a local bank in Doha where i might have been able to go in and talk to someone.
I really do appreciate most of the responses on here, but there seems a very small minority intent on making people with problems (me) feel utterly stupid. You're not helping - so why bother to type a message. ??
