Robison) Organization: Exxon Office Systems, Princeton Lines: 13 If you frerquently run into cases where stores advertise a sale item, and are out of it, and won't give rain checks, COMPLAIN. I think most state laws require a store to have a reaonable number of the sale items, or else to indicate otheriwse in its ads. Very effective complaints can be made to: the store manager, with a copy of the letter to your congressman. I've gotten spectacular results (and fast) this way. - Toby Robison (not Robinson!) allegra!eosp1!robison or: decvax!ittvax!eosp1!robison or (emergency): princeton!eosp1!robison
