I'd love if our guys had time to hang around, but sadly they have never experienced the IKEA coffee as they're in and out quicker than a furniture assembly! Thanks for your suggestion.

Then IF one of your guys is hanging around and IF he notices that something is out of stock earlier in the day, he could send a courtesy text letting the shopper know? I wouldn't guarantee the service as it might not always be feasible, but it could be a nice "value-add". For the record, I once drove to Belfast, having checked online, called the store etc. There were oodles of the bulky bookshelves in stock. When I got there, and there were none (but still some showing on the store computer), an employee told me "Sometimes people steal things". I can understand people stealing smaller items, but I can't think of anyone other than other employees who could manage to walk out of a store with something that size.
