LITERALLY have done SEVERAL transactions this way. Again,
@Redbot can verify this is accurate
BECAUSE I DO CARE ABOUT SAVING THE CUSTOMER MONEY!
As if that has NEVER happened to anyone, EVER! Product sells and yet the advertisement still remains to encourage you to shop there next time and STILL. SMH @ this logic.... LOL
Oh, my, god, no it doesn't. This is why stores literally make the local news when they promise a product and run out super early into the discount. It's considered horrible business practice. I'm not sure how to explain that. You're also only responding to things that we literally can't see here.
I mean, literally, something as small as McDonald's Schezwuan Sauce not meeting the supply / demand quota was enough to put America into an uproar. You're selling a niche product that people need right then and now. If they wanted to wait 24 hours they could just purchase it from the store.
Alright, gonna break this down Barney-Style.
1. Guy sees an Advertisement stating Product X is going to be on Discount Y.
2. As the guy sees the advertisement was actually JUST posted, surely he must be able to get his hands on X.
3. He reaches out to the store (whether drives, calls, messages, etc...) only to find out they're already out of stock but promise you a discount on the next supply, given you don't shop anywhere else while you wait, otherwise this discount is NULL and VOID.
4. This means every person that messages you at any given point is getting probably less than a 50% chance of actually receiving the product they want.
5. Whatever, they decide to try again later.
6. Steps 1 - 4 repeat. Again and again. Until it eventually leads to Step 7.
7. You managed to piss people off thus resulting in negative feedback.
Conclusion: Feedback should stay.
