I found the item “Gracious Living 8-Drawer White Tower” Product #142-2057-6, listed on CanadianTire.ca on sale for 1/2 of its Regular Price: $59.99 – Sale Price is $29.99. On September 3, 2018, it showed that they have 7 in stock. That same day, knowing that they have it, I went to their store located at: 250 Silver Linden Drive Richmond Hill, ON L4B 4W7 905-731-3100 I went to aisle # 52 as mentioned on their site, and couldn’t find the items. I went to customer service and spoke to Taz, she confirmed that her system also shows they have 7 in stock. When I informed her that there is none, she paged for a sales associate to meet me in aisle# 52, who told me, “Yeah sorry, I know the system is showing we have 7, the manager is aware of this issue, he’s been looking for them and can’t find them”. I went back to Taz again, I told her what the sales associate said. I requested a rain check, but, she refused to give me one and said this is because the store shows that this item is in stock that’s why she can’t give me a rain check. I said, “Yes it shows you have stock on both your website listing and your local store system, however, you don’t have the physical item available!, therefore you should give me a rain check, I lost time, cost of gas and milage”. She said she can’t give any rain checks. I told her that I don’t agree with her decision and this is deceptive/false advertising, I came from afar all the way to the store only to find out they have none in stock. I asked for a store manager, Yonie came, and told him exactly the same thing, he said he can’t give me a rain check. They did not even offer to call other stores for me, to check which store has this in stock. I believe this is one of Canadian Tire’s way to bring customers to their store - False Deceptive Advertising. So, when customers come for something, they buy other things at the same time. I advised Taz and Yonie that I will post this story public and will also contact the head office, they said that’s fine and it’s my right to do that. CANADIAN TIRE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS TERRIBLE!
