I have been in that exact situation with water like that in a small town in southern Alberta. I needed a bunch for bottles for my kid, and the only place that had any only sold it by the bottle, even though we grabbed a case from the stack. I don't see that as being any different.
The likely difference here is that the store might have sold water by the case, but those cases were all sold out.
