What a fiasco. Alex sent me the money by PayPal last week. I noted from the flyer that it was a December promotion and duly waited until Dec 1st planning to be one of the first there. I rang my nearest branch at 8am (there are 3 in Manchester), to be told that the 12 that they were allocated sold out yesterday! What's the point of marking the flyer 'December Promotion'? I spent some time on the phone with another branch, they contacted head office to be told that they had sold out nation wide.
I called into my local branch this morning and found the manager. He said that they started selling them last week when they first arrived and sold the last ones yesterday!
Surely the point of a promotion like this is to get me into the store, all they've done is poop me off!
I'm off to the pub now with Alex's money!
