That is why I think it was probably a case of an over eager person who tried pleasing their boss. It's not surprising that upon hearing Edwards wife saying they wanted one that somebody would try procure one & win some brownie points. Considering the scrutiny that figures like Edwards faces I doubt he would have ordered someone to go try using his name at Walmart.
