    Well I got the 'sorry sir, that item is not in stock in this branch' phone call about 45 minutes after reserving mine.

    Guess the staff got there first.

    Don't put up with this! Same happened to me, I asked for number of Head Office so I could ring and ask them how these could have been sold AFTER I had reserved them (I ordered 2, one for me and one for in-laws). After I said my piece, the warehouse bod (after being winked at by CS bod) decided to ahve one final look in the back. Guess what? He found the 2 I'd ordered. You really shouldn't let them get away with this. OK, if the staff see a cheap item in the store, I've no problem with them buying it, but to nab stuff that customers have already reserved is close to stealing in my book.
