You do realise this is just going to make customers hearing “we have no bags” even more persistent!
Overheard Hermès

Which is absolutely the worst thing you could do if you want to get the SAs to "like" you enough.
Have Garden Parties become quota bags too?! Is every bag a quota bag now? This is ridiculous.
That’s the way it should be! Hermès makes everything so unpredictable though! Maybe we should just tell our SA that we don’t want a bag to get offered one?
I inquired about a Mini Lindy in a certain color a few months ago and my SA told me he would put me on the list…
I don’t even know if I like the bag (probably not because of the zippers) but I never heard back. Meanwhile ge keeps asking me to buy more but most of what I want isn’t in stock or will take 6 months to arrive. I have a wish list with him of some particular Birkins and Kellys but this will probably never happen. However in Paris I got 2 quota bags that I am very happy about and was looking for!
I just don’t understand the brand sometimes.
Blatantly lying to customers is so wrong. Why can’t the SAs take the honest approach and just tell people, “sorry, we have very limited stock right now so it’s being held for our long time customers.” People wouldn’t like it, but at least they could decide for themselves whether they want to put in the money to become a valued customer, or take their business elsewhere.
We are so off topic now but sadly that response would likely put some SA’s safety in danger.
In Singapore, the bags are not stored in stores… partially due to approval process, safety, etc. Most bags are stored in a single warehouse which all 4 stores have access to. It’s troublesome to get a bag sent from warehouse so unless you are their regular customer, most SAs will just say no bags available in the store (which is partially true).
This also reminded me something I overheard previously. A tourist came to ask for some non-quota bag from a SA and he advised her to get it from her local store (Australia) instead. The customer didn’t get irritated and understand that the bags are mostly allocated to local customers and not so much for tourists with low purchase history.
Back to topic now please 
We have hundreds of other threads covering quota bags, pleasingimpressing your SA (and s/he uni).

Ha! That's how i got my first Birkin. When I first started working with my SA, I told him 2 things: 1. I'm probably going to be your poorest client; and 2. I'll never ask for a bag. Maybe a Constance but just not into the Birkin or Kelly. I've clearly been won over, but he talked me into "just looking " at a Birkin. Been hooked every since. Lol.
I heard a couple telling their SA 'No bags? we will come back every day of our trip until next month' in a very threatening voice haha. I was even scared to stand near them LOL.
