Bought last few appliances at Lowes, easy , no hassles.
Putting down a new kitchen floor , "Why not replace that old stove too". Good Idea. look online, the whirlpool model with sealed burners, big oven window, and the full grate top , on sale, but not in stock nearby. Went to the store to look at the floor model , ok good , the exact one for us "Thrifty" retirees.
Clerk checks, none in stock, special order only. Went home, ordered online on the 11th , for store pickup " expected delivery date 11/21 '.
2 days later , got a call from the store asking if I still want to order ? , uh, YES.
11/20 , store calls , says it's here. OK will be in this weekend to pick-up. Put the old stove at the curb, disappears in less than 30 minutes.
11/22 go to store, Uh , we don't have it, the system shows minus 3 in inventory ?
OK, I ask how did that happen, did you sell it to someone just walking in ? Blank look on the face of the clerk and no answer, 2nd clerk disappears. Ask the same question again " clerk: UH, you will have to call in on Monday , next shipment is nov 29th.
All ok except put the old stove is GONE.
I usually don't get mad, but I hate getting lied to. A simple "ya, we screwed up , were sorry" would be ok.
