Trader Vic's Passion Fruit Syrup Discontinued? - Tiki Drinks and Food

They stock quite a few other Trader Vic's products so I thought I'd give it a go. Today I received a call from the store manager who said she spoke to her order person at Vic's and received word that (according to her), "Vic's does not have it in stock and will be discontinuing that product". I did, however, just receive word that Vic's is shipping me an order - which includes passion fruit syrup - as of yesterday. I find what she said hard to believe, choose not to believe it, and otherwise stand in disbelief. Is this just another confused and helpless liquor store worker, or is there any truth to this (God help us)?
