This is a Retina MacBook Pro, not the "traditional" MacBook Pros with the optical drive. All Retina MacBook Pros have SSDs, so I'm not sure what models you were looking at. In any event, Apple does carry the fully maxed out Retina MacBook Pro in the stores. I know because I bought one myself.

This was approximately two months prior to the rMBP release.

I have no doubt that varying stores have different stock policies, but at the fairly large store I was at, it was suggested I order online.
