This is actually by design, and the reason the Indigo name is starting to replace Chapters. The founder Heather Reisman has a goal of selling 50% books, 50% other, turning it into more of a lifestyle store. Their policy of bringing books in at the customer's request with free pickup at the store is how they've eliminated many books from the sales floor while still technically offering a huge selection of titles.
