My guess would be the couple was buying a birthday present for a nephew, cousin, grandson or the like and had only been told something like "Well, Jimmy would like some deer ammo for his/her birthday." by a clue less parent.

I, apparently, caused my sister no end of grief at Bass Pro Shopswhen I told her I want Blackcloud Waterfowl loads for Christmas a couple years back by not specifying what load, length, etc.

Now, obviously the sells person was lacking in knowledge as well by not even attempting to ascertain caliber, but what do you expect from a store where an employee will work shoes one day and produce the next?
