There was an ad for a craft store in the paper the week of May 7th. There was a ready-to-finish mission bench in said ad, similar to the one pictured above, on sale for $39.99, regularly $89.99. I went to the store, and the woman said "We didn't get those! Here's a rain check, we'll call you when it comes in."
Fast forward to today. May 31st. I call the store. First, my rain check isn't in the little box. I just want to know when they're getting the benches.
"We don't have any. Don't know when we'll get any."
I said "So you put something in your ad, it doesn't come in, and you don't know when it will? It's been almost a month!"
"Mmm Hmm." As in "Yes. Completely normal for our store".
I think she was trying to say something else when I said "I guess I'll cancel my order" and hung up.
Seriously, is this NORMAL? To put something in your store ad and not know when you'll actually get it?

It's called bait and switch and it's illegal, not that the rule of law means anything in this country anymore.
sure didn't work on me. right away i thought hard about where i'd get my craft items from now on. it won't be there.
