Wasn't going to push it with him, but not a good sign out here on the West Coast.
No offense and I may be wrong (hopefully not) but we've had all sorts of stories given by clerks on why they can't sell VRs. Some may not want the liability on their shifts and others may have been shut down by corporate. This is probably just an isolated case.
