Example: I called Home Depot for some flexible insulated ducting, I ask them to please check stock visually, so I'm not wasting a trip and I need four six inch twenty-five footers. The guy supposedly goes and checks to see..."Yep, we have five of them" I tell him great, I'll be right down to get four of them.
Half hour later I'm there and there are only two in stock! I tell them " Come on, half hour ago, you said you had five of them?" the guy says, " guess we sold them". Nooo that is not what happened, because a department manager had been called and he checks the computer to see if any had sold between the time I was told and I got there...nope none were. Obviously he (the person I talked to on the phone) did not check, he just looked on the computer even though I asked he to physically check.
They are not the only place this has happened . In the last few months this same thing has occurred at a number of places. Computers are a great thing, but come on…
I'm also fed up with stores moving things around every month or so causing you to have to spend more time and hunt for things.
