i see where your coming from, but that would be a terrible business move. all retail businesses are driven by one motive - to make money. that's why it drives me crazy why some of these nikestore/outlet employees, even managers, are sooooo lazy and rude. managers, employees, and stores get bonuses and incentives based on one thing - SALES ($$). at the end of the day, it's all about the numbers. it boggles my mind why these people are giving callers false information, or saying their "not equipped" to handle phone orders, or putting time restrictions on phone orders; they're only hurting themselves in the long run.
i have an extensive retail sales and management background, and i personally oversaw the web/phone order side of a very successful mom and pops sportswear store for nearly 5 years. my boss would have had my head on a platter if i'd done what some of these stores are doing. we were trained that everytime that phone rings, that's the cash register ringing a sale. if it meant we had to stay 2hrs after close to get all of our orders rung in, guess what, we did it. we had sales sometimes when we did $60-70K in a day! we would leave exhausted, but that's what we're there for.

I see what you are saying but like Hazel, I believe it was Hazel, I've been buying from outlets since the early 90's Specifically the 2 at Pigeon forge. What you have to understand is all that is happening today is that shoes are just being sold at a faster rate compared to the days before the internet. If it was a good shoe it is still going to sell, it might take a month but it would still sellout. Take the penny II's at $59 they've been hunted down for the last couple of weeks but even without the internet they'd still be gone within a couple of months. I guess what I'm trying to get at is eventually employees and even worse managers will eventually get tired of the hassle of dealing with phone calls and orders and do all they can to get it stopped. I can see why they'd just lie and say they are out of a popular shoe when you know it will sell in the store and you don't have to deal with the phone orders and shipping. I know I wish you F'ers had never found out about PF.

for those interested - Riverhead currently does NOT have sizes 11, 11.5, or 12 according to an employee who seemed to actually go check.
