Glenn, I'd assume that in those cases you'd still just take immediate possession with your CHP as they don't have to do the NICS call at all. Every gun I've ever bought from Walmart (not that many but still) they wrote my CHP number down in the supplied box on the 4473 and walked me to the door with my new rifle/shotgun.........often joking at how silly that is to walk a boxed, unloaded gun to the door for someone they now know is probably carrying a loaded handgun.

As others have already said, it's there prerogative whether they sell guns to you or sell them at all. Until just a couple of months ago, only one store out of the 5 that are within 20 mins of me sold guns. Now they all do again. A nice change that. Them making this decision (if it even is corporate policy) is forgivable given the circumstances IMO.
