Doesn't sound like the smartest retailer or they'd know that putting something into someone's hands makes it real and most often leads to a sale. OTOH, letting you take one out of the box wouldn't get you very far because the first thing you have to do is set it up before you can play with it.
You'd think that someone at Kobo might have considered a way to bypass setup and let them place a unit in demo mode, but the marketing geniuses probably decided that even Mom & Pops should spring for a demo unit... Sometimes I think Kobo overlooks the most basic things.
