SS: Staples

I go to my local Staples, hoping to score a stick of 256mb PC133 ram - $9.94 after MIR. Out of stock. No biggie, that. But, they won't be getting any more in before the sale is over either! Hmm... Run out of stock on a very popular item on the very first day of your sale, then tell me I'm SOL. Yeah. REAL GOOD way to get people to come back.

Got to like when items are advertised, only a few of 'em are stocked and then they are shocked when it runs out.

Why are only a few of them stocked, especially on very popular items? They're the ones that'll lose sales if they run out, and it's not like I'm shopping at the last minute.
