I have noticed a similar bias at especially our Hastings store, not so much BAM. I live at the edge of the bible-belt so I would expect sales to dictate the stocking choices rather than being the result of a general store-wide policy. Most stocking these days is done blindly by computer based on what moves and what doesn't. I would expect bias to differ in various sections of the country. I certainly hope these stores aren't stacking the deck ...
