Morrisons offers. AAARRRGGGHHH

Have a look here, http://www.morrisons.co.uk/ The first offer is for Robinsons squash ALL varieties for 50p. But this is simply not true, many varieties are not included in the offer and ones that are included are simply not on the shelves. Went to Retford and Gainsborough to get orange & mango and orange & pineapple but although it was the first day of the offer there were none on the shelves!!!!!

    This seem to be, effectively, a large scale 'bait and switch'.

    Would trading standards be interested?

    I bought frying steak half price there-sometimes there was some on the shelves,sometimes there wasn't.
    When there wasn't I came to the conclusion it hadsold quickly because of demand,I didn't think it was a conspiracy..

    I went in my local Morrisons yesterday and there was tons of the stuff - Apple & Blackcurrant, and Orange and Mango I think it was. It wasn't with the rest of the drinks, it was a large pallet of them at the front entrance.
    Of all the supermarkets I find Morrisons by far the best stocked for offers like these - they also had half price onions, Cadbury's brunch bars for £1 a box, half price new potatoes and Frijj at 55p a bottle. All were well stocked.
    Maybe you were just unlucky with your local store OP. I used to live near a uni and subsequently my local Morrisons NEVER had the offers in, the shelves having been stripped bare whilst I was at work :) but when I was a student I did the same so I don't begrudge.

    Advert says 'all varieties', shop says 'selected lines', misleading advert - take screenshots and contact asa.org.uk who will take it up with Morrisons.

    And yet you still thought it was worth responding to. What does that say about you?

    Im bored and have nothing else better to do until i finish work then sit and look at people moaning about how a shop had possibly ran out of its stock of reduced priced juice.
