It is true QR can be a challenge at some stations. Last time I had the situation with two tickets I was denied check to final, but that was from AKL with last segment on LH. (They do have interline with LH, but this extended check-to-final policy is OW only)

The QR fora has a lot of example where check-to-final works just fine on QR. One can always print the policy and bring it, and in a friendly way explain that the policy has changed back. Asking for a station manager also helps.
