Contact was made with them by BADbusinessbureau.com people about their deceptive advertising practices and they promised that they would do better than honor the deal, they would give me the items free. The spontaneous graciousness was a ruse to get us off their back. Now there is not further contact on the deal. I wish I knew who to trust. I just want them to honor what they say.

Rebuttal:
I am also a victim. I received a green flyer for the furniture clearance sale at my door on Monday with other advertising. I am especially furious to learn that I not only traveled a great distance out of my way needlessly, but others were lured to the store in this illegal fashion.
I was looking for some nice office furniture and a folding table, and went to the Phoenix store. When I asked the associate if another store might have the items, I was told, "Oh, I really don't know why they put those flyers out. We never had any of those things and nobody else really does either."
I really think there is a very good case for bait & switch. If there is any sort of class action suit, count me in.
