A guy and his girlfriend, who are Sam's Club members decided to grab a Nintendo Wii at a Sam's Club location with some extra cash they had. They were shocked, yet happy that there was one left. They quickly reserved it, finished shopping for other items and returned to make the purchase. After several tries, the item did not ring through. The cashier calls the manager and apparently, they have 100 in stock, with 1 out for viewing purposes, but they cannot sell them until their grand re-opening. The manager was 'too busy' to talk to the customer. The man has made numerous calls to the head office, but no one has picked up, so he left voice messages. After two weeks, no one has got back to him.

Last Saturday I found myself picking up a few items at Sam’s Club (335 Fanshawe Park Road W. London, ON Canada) with my girlfriend. I wandered over to the cage where they keep the electronics and asked the woman working if they have any in stock. Surprise! They have one last one left. Speaking to the girl in the cage, she tells me she can hold it for 30mins at most while we finish shopping. I skipped like a little girl to find my girlfriend and explained we have 30mins to purchase said Wii. Within 10mins we’re at the cage to make our purchase…..only not.
