Black Friday

Went to Pick n Pay Primrose to get Ariel 3kg washine powder. I was there at 8 when they opened the store only to find that the shelves were empty. I was told that the stock would only be arriving at 11am. How odd that the shelves were empty, do you not carry enough stock of the product or do you run out then decide to order? I'm sure this promo was planned a while back, so I find the excuse of waiting for stock a complete lie. I went to Checkers Hyper where I managed to get specials that were advertised.
