The other Halfraud is having offers only on the web site which are out of stock - they are in stock in all the branches, just not in stock on-line. Now I call that dishonest.
That's why they do reserve & collect, so that you get the web price but (shock, horror) have to get off your arse to visit the shop...

If it's a web exclusive offer then you will find they're better deals than the shops can offer, albeit delivery only. If not - most (if not all) stores will honour a website price if they have it in stock... where is the dishonesty there?
Of course it's dishonest. If they don't have the stock in the particular combination that this chap requires then that is a blatant lie! Obviously.

Of course it was sarcasm, I thought even without similes the 'Obviously' would have given it away.
