So I went to grab one this morning, I did check the website to be sure it said they had one in stock before leaving. When I get there I take the box to the cashier and she takes it to another lady who has access to the vault or where ever it is they keep those off the shelf items.
The second lady comes back maybe 45 seconds later and says they don't have any of the 128GB but they do have the 64GB.
I tell the cashier that the website says they have one in stock and she just shrugs and says we don't have any but I could order it online. I asked when it might arrive if I did and she said they were getting a truck tomorrow and maybe there would be some in that order.
I left less than satisfied with my Techy STAPLES online experience. When I got home, I checked again and sure enough it says they are in stock so I go ahead and put one on reserve and I get an email saying I will get another email when the drive is ready to be picked up.
Half an hour later I get the email. I call the store to confirm that it is there waiting and am ensured. I get to the store greeted by the same cashier, she thinks I want to order it at the store and I tried to explain to her it was there waiting in reserve.
A third lady now where the second lady was grabs the drive off the counter and brings it to the checkout. The cashier stunned at this point tells lady 3 that lady 2 had told her they didn't have any and she might need more training, while lady 3 continued to ring it up then walk away.
The cashier was fine no problem with her she was apologetic and cheerful about the whole ordeal.
Far as I can make is that someone in-store was trying to horde it and would have until I reserved it online then they had to give it up.
Other than the wonderful experience of obtaining it can't say much other than the fact that it comes with a slick little external enclosure makes it WELL worth the $80.
There is no law in the arena
