What happens when the store calls up to order more “Sold Out” signs?
Hello, I’d like to order more “Sold Out” signs.Sorry, they’re sold out.Yes, that’s what I need.The signs are sold out.Exactly.They’re out of stock.No, I don’t want “Out of Stock”, I want “Sold Out”.The “Sold Out” are out of stock.How can the “Sold Out” be “Out of Stock”?The “Sold Out” are out of stock because they sold out.
(1 hour later, after much frustration)
Do you have any “Surplus Inventory”?Oh, we have tons of those!
