Does anyone know the actual law on bait advertising or where I can find it? I thought continually advertising products you intentionally had insufficient stock to meet expected demand was illegal, and yet ALDI do it *every* week and apparently get away with it. Frankly I can't really see it helps them, since it must just piss more people off than it actually attracts to buy other things. MrT.
