This is what they call the exception proving the rule; you think you've countered them, but by explaining that it's literally one of three army surplus shops you have to go to and not just the local Wal-Mart equivalent (EDIT: or whatever clothing store, the size of the chain isn't relevant), you've proven their point quite well.
Shopping just works a bit different here with fewer large chains. Also walmart doesn't sell surplus. The point is you see people using that stuff all the time here too. Our equipment just looks less conspicuous.
