Out Of Stock. Out Of Stock. Out Of Stock

This has got to be one of the most hideous sayings
I know that certain items like the Wii for example might be hard to find at Christmas, but I just recon that some staff are just too stupid to order enough based on seasonal demand.
Yesterday I wanted some cinnamon sticks. I tried all the health food shops, who were 'out of stock' I mean this stuff grows on trees for goodness sake. It's so obvious that people want cinnamon at Christmas, so order enough!!
Why could'nt I find a stretch Scooby Doo anywhere? I mean I did not think it was the toy to be had this year, but none anywhere.
Argos is the worst. You punch that number in to the blue machine and it comes up saying they are ' currently out of stock, press enter to find a similar product' so you do and it's something completely stupid like a teasmade.
Then there are those great BOGOF deals at the supermarket. But when you want to benefit from the deal there is only one left on the shelf, why do they buy them in odd numbers?
Well I could go on. I guess the one thing I will remember this year is the unbelievable amount of out of stock items. If you don't buy it in October forget it!
I feel like MR Angry from the old Steve Wright in the afternoon show on radio 1

The joys of Christmas ... I agree with you about Argos though .. I wnet in therea few weeks back with a list of 6 items and only one was in stock ... you have to laugh.

I normally check online and order it that way on Argos. However I do think the two day collection in store is silly even though I often order on an evening it only gives me 1 day instead of the two.
Morrisons is getting on my nerves, they often have buy 2 get 2 free, whats wrong with buy 1 get another free?0
