Kroger will not issue a rain check if an item is on sale with a digital coupon loaded to my card, and the coupon expires before I plan to return to the store. Instead, the customer service desk clerk just informs me that the coupon won’t expire until the end of the week, so I can still come back and buy the product when it’s back in stock before then. It really frosts me, and I just look at the clerk and state emphatically. “I travel 30 miles round trip. I’m not coming back to town this week, and certainly not driving 30 miles for one item.”

Right which is exactly why this is a good law and I hope it gets enacted in many states. Your example is perfect case in point, and even if you don’t live that far, I have better things to do with my time to come back 2 days later (say I shopped on Thursday) to see if its back in stock. There’s no guarantee it will be so you’ve wasted your energy shopping for the same bait and switch item 2x.
