It is impossible to find a Nexus 7 in stores

Today, I felt like I was searching for an xBox 360 on Black Friday, 2005.

Since I'm an impatient person who loves instant gratification, I wanted to find a retailer that stocked [url=http://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_7_8gb&feature=nexus-home-page]this goddamned tablet[/url] rather than waiting 5 business days for it to ship. Over the course of 3 hours I went to:

2 GameStops (Pre-order only with $50 deposit; new tablets arrive on the 31st)
3 Office Maxes (The website said the stores had some in stock; that was BS)
3 Office Depots (Same with goddamn Office Max)
3 Walmarts (The same with Office Depot. HOWEVER, the manager told me that they had 2 in their trucks and 7 in their warehouse and asked me to come back in a few days)
2 Staples (Same with Office Depot).
2 Radio Shacks (It was at the second Radio Shack that the employee told me that the Nexus 7 was only available on their website (protip: it's out of stock on their website))
1 Best Buy (None)
1 Frys Electronics (None)

Too long and didn't read: if you want a Nexus 7, order it from Google. Don't be stupid like me.

Note to retailers: If you're going to post "in stock" or "limited stock available" on your websites, [b]MAKE IT SO THE ITEM IS IN STOCK SO I'M NOT LOOKING FOR NEEDLES IN HAYSTACKS OR ACTUALLY UPDATE THE SITE MORE THAN ONCE EVERY 24~36 HOURS[/b].
