The tech was full of crap, or this story is fabricated.
The tech is in a big Verizon store in Eden Prairie MN, and the Costco is about 1/2 mile away. I didn't ask if they had stock but they had the Q10, Z10 and Z30 on display and the tech was using his Z30 so the story is not fabricated, I can't vouch for the techs credibility / comment about being in the top 5 but maybe it is in his store if he is promoting it, either way he has one and I got to play with it without been tethered with a security cable. So based on my hands on with the Z30 and 6 mts using the Q10 (+leaks) I just ordered a Z30 on-line from Verizon $149 ($50 discount because I told the rep ... live chat... that Amazon had them for $100 on 2yr contract renewal, but didn't mention that Amazon have stocked out).
Next time I am in Costco I'll let the rep there play with it while I shop ....... help spread the word.
PS. Z30 should arrive in 2 days, I'll change my signature and add it. I see myself using both for a while.
