False advertising

Spec savers advertises on their website that they do a kids promo that gives kids a free eye test, frame and lense. Yesterday I was at Specsavers in midrand. My child had an eye test and we were ask to choose a frame. There was only four kids frames in the store. Upon choosing a frame, we were informed that we would have to pay R1390 for it as it had a green barcode. I asked to see the free frames as offered in the promo and was shown adult frames with grey stickers. Why is Specsavers advertising such a promo if one has to pay for frames or the store doesn't have any free kids frame. My child really needs the glasses and we went to Specsavers because of this promo. If we knew in advance that we had to pay, we would have used other service providers. Sadly, we will now be canceling the order of the frames.
