A lot of variables could be involved here.
First off, even if the stores were owned by the parent company, each location might be ran by different people. People that might not run thier location the same. Things like what they stock/don't stock, hours they are open, and how they go about ordering. One location might not do any ordering, other than putting it down on thier next stock order. Don't really care how long that takes, even if the warehouse it's coming from is out of the item. But another location might turn to other measures of ordering if it's going to take to long on a stock order. Such as ordering the single item through Amazon as the customer might do if they weren't using the store.
On a normal stock order, there wouldn't be any hurry about it, if the supplying warehouse was out of that particular item. After all, it's just on a normal stock order. So it would end up on back order until the warehouse was replenished with that particular item.
Ordering single items through Amazon is somewhat different. These items are considered customer sold, when the order is placed. And not considered store inventory as it would be when placed on a stock order for a store. And this means, that a bigger effort will be made to find the item in the system someplace if it don't happen to be at a single warehouse someplace.
As to why one store won't do any other form of ordering if it's going to take forever on a normal stock order, I can't really answer that. But being lazy or don't want to be bothered with the grief of it, comes to mind as a guess.
I walked through Wal-Mart just yesterday. I seen 3 employees in different places that were suppose to be stocking shelves. They were texting on thier phones instead. Don't tell me that these people are going to do anymore than they have to. So there can be a big difference just in who you talk to at the store this day in age.
