Agreed, I was just told this morning by a Chanel SA that yesterday, on their day off, their store received 2 purple metallic 227 reissues and an SA (who knows better) sold both without consulting the reserve list. That store is only receiving 6 purple's in that size, and so now they are 2 short for their reserve customers. Can you imagine? I've heard say the SA who sold those bags is in a lot of trouble.
This is EXACTLY why i call my SAs all the time to inquire about the status of the list and the items. I know they think I am neurotic/being a nag/crazy but it's for reasons like this that I bug them and that I don't hold my breath on getting an item until they call.
I want to know what that SA is in for, having sold the 227s to the non-reserve list clients. What was the person thinking??!!
