If I was coding a website for a games store, I'd have some fun with the sold out messages:

"We're sorry but your product is in another castle!"
"Game Over. We are sold out. Continue?"
"We're sorry, the dude from Grand Theft Auto has stolen your product."
"Product purchase failed. Restart from last checkpoint?"

404 Product Not Found

STOP Error...Product has experienced a critical shortage and had to be shut down...

Good lord.

Did he think that sold out meant something else on a website? If he had been in your shop and was told that it was sold out he would have understood that.
Don't bet on it ...

Our back room could very well be hiding a pink elephant. It's small, oddly-shaped, and is jammed full of everything except the stuff we are out of (don't ask me how that works, I have no idea). We have a large enough supply of X and Y teas to keep the country going in a post-Armageddon world, but absolutely none of A, B, C, D or E teas, all of which are down to maybe a teaspoonful in the bins in the store.

I kinda like this one, from Streetfighter 2: "Go home and be a family man!" XD

The back room we have at the petrol station is small, crammed with stock but only stock that won't fit on the shelf, barring cigarettes which are locked in the cupboard and sometimes, if we're overwhelmed, don't go out. Some of my co-workers feel that if it's busy, then they can convieniently ignore the cigarettes, despite the fact that they're the easiest thing in the world to restock, as you can do so between customers.

Anyway, despite the smallness of the back room, a lot of customers are determined to believe that we keep a Tardis back there.

We always keep everything the customers want in the back room.
