Today I went into Aldi to buy an 8GB USB Drive which is in their current 
catalog and on special, starting today.
I was in the store 90 mins after opening time.
There were no USB Drives and I was told that all had been sold out by the 
time I got there.
Funny! If they were such a hot item then why weren't there more people in 
the store asking for them.
I spoke with Consumer Affairs who told me that Aldi were using "bait 
advertising' which was illegal.
They advised me to go back to the store and demand Aldi obtain the article 
for me within a reasonable time, which I did.
This time I received an apoplogy and Aldi were going to ring around their 
other stores to search out the item and have it sent to their store.
They will contact me tomorrow and advise when the item will be there.
