With all the new listings on line, I was hopeful that the in-store stock would be a salad bar of great selections.
I think a lot of people assumed the same. Many regretfully did not read responses from CMPicon stating that the stuff put on the sales pages wouldn't hit the stores for a couple/few weeks.

It's hard to blame CMP for simply going about their business. They made zero claims about what would be in store, beyond what equated to "what there was when the stores closed before the break". It's a case of customer-generated hype.
