For display purposes only
"I recently visited a furniture store after a display chair attracted my attention," writes Erika. "I asked the young lady at the desk if I could buy the chair. Her reply was that I was unable to buy the chair as it was the only one they had and if she sold it to me no one would know what they looked like. I explained that she didn't have any to sell, so what was the point of having one to show? She responded that if anyone came in she could show them the chair. 'Will you be getting any more in then?' as my question. No, she said. I suggested in that case why not sell me the chair. 'We haven't got any', she said. 'Yes you have, I can see one!' I replied. You can see where this situation was going, so instead I travelled 20km to their Manukau store to buy the chair.
