Oh, yes indeed. I got something almost exactly like this reply recently,
when I asked about something that used to be carried at my local grocery
store:
"There's no demand for this, so we don't stock it. You know, you're the
seventh (or eighth) person to ask about it today."
That's not the first time I've heard that sort of thing, either. There
is absolutely no shortage of stupidity nowadays.
