People curious about how itrackr works...it is just a fancier version of the XBOX 360 In-Store Inventory Tracker Made by the same person http://untitlednet.com/blogtopic.aspx?id=83 My associations are through untitlednet. Related incident of creator about stock flags: | | So I drive down to the Sawgrass BestBuy here, all excited and anxious, I quickly looked for an employee in the videogame section. I asked “Do you guys have any Xbox 360? Did you get them today?”, and he just shook his head, “no”, all through my sentence. I asked him to please check the computer to see if it shows up in the inventory. I was almost certain it would show up…..
I stood while he checked the computer in front of me. He typed “xbox 360” what looked like a web site driven store inventory and the results came back negative. He said, “See?”. So my excitement was killed and I was now pissed. I decided to go play the kiosk, but then said to my self to give it another try with someone else.
I looked for another guy in the music section, told him that the online site shows that this store has em’ in stock. He said that he was certain they weren’t in-stock, but he’ll look it up for me on the computer. Unlike the last guy, this guy actually selected the “Video Game / Hardware” category in the inquiry and the Premium & Core sku’s were displayed.
He clicked on the Core system and he said “Nope, none in stock”. I told him to go back and try the Premium. We both looked at the screen and my eyes lit up when I saw “On Hand: 6”. Then he says, “Hmmm... Let me check the back, I don’t remember them coming in.”
So I’m all happy again as I followed him to the “Employees Only” double door. Moments later, he returns shaking his head, “Nope, none are back there.” This is when I’m thinking to myself: “All week and my app didn’t alarm till now... I don’t believe him.
I asked him if there was a manager present, and he pointed me to the customer service area. I stopped the manager and said to him, “I know the 360 is a hot item, and you guys haven’t had em’ in stock for awhile, but your online inventory is showing that you have six. My phone even alerted me.” He said, “Well, I’m the inventory manager so I would know and I don’t believe they came in yet – but I’ll check the system.”
We both go over to the same computer the last guy checked it on and the last employe was there too. But this time, he was checking the xbox 360 for someone else! Another dood was there having him checked to see. The dood (I forgot his name) said that he’s been calling BB’s every day and he came all the way from Miami because the person on the phone told him their computers say it’s in stock. I laughed and said “See? I’m not crazy.”
The manager said, “Let me check our inventory.” So we both follow the employee and manager to the restricted double doors. While they were in there, I was just picturing them coming back out with two shiny premium boxes. They come back….. empty handed.
”There’s nothing there guys, but maybe we’re getting them in very soon.”, the manager said. And then, when the employee walks off, he says to us “Look guys, I’m going to step way across the line here, but we have four and we’ll be selling them tomorrow… be here 10 AM”
Now I’m like WHAT? Can’t you just remove them from your pc and I give you the money now? He says “No I really can’t do that”. The dood and I tried to convince him, but no luck. I guess this store is only allowed to sell them the day after.
So the dood and I leave, and he told me how he’s going to be there etc etc. I’m still little disappointed he didn’t get to get one, since he drove from Miami and all. But at the same time, I’m really happy to see that my app worked like a charm. I hope it gets you guys a 360! Good luck! |
