Galen West’s strategy: “Lookie dem low prices… 2L soda for 68¢… woweee!!1!” REALITY: Zero stock, ZERO SHIPMENTS for ENTIRE SALE.

This is why Galen West is a card-carrying member of the Parasite Class.
And yes, I confirmed the no-shipments, zero-stock with the store manager. 5 days and counting with no stock so far, when the sale started there was maybe 12-24 bottles for 128,000 residents in the city.
the kmart in the town i lived in back in the early 1990s did this all the time...
and since they knew ahead-of-time of upcoming percent or dollar-off promotions, they would jack the shelf price up on those items the week or two before so they could go 'on sale' (and sometimes even at a higher price than the usual regular selling price).
ya. that store was bulldozed a few years later.
