Pre-security shop needing post-security access? Doubt it

So I see this morning a non-sterile area access shop for my airport. Considering I've been watching sterile area (beyond security) shops sitting on the board since I joined I thought to myself "FINALLY!". So, I hit the button and it takes me to the 7 or 8 point checklist where you answer yes or no to some simple questions. The very first question? "Do you have access beyond the security area of this airport?" I dutifully answer "No", complete the other questions and submit.

Judges? BUUUUUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I'm now excluded from shops of this type for some period of time which I forgot to read because I was in full WTF mode. They post a non-sterile area shop ("pre-security", posted right in the location field), ask if I can go beyond security and when I say no whammo, oh you can't have that shop, logic that would make a computer asplode.

Sent an email to them asking for the shop, we'll see what happens. Next time I think I'll just answer in the affirmative, make sure the notes specify that it's pre-security and move on, zero points for me for answering truthfully.

You could always buy a refundable ticket so you could pick up all the shops in the airport and then have it refunded when you are done.

Honestly I'm tempted to do that, some of the September shops behind security at our other airport are up to $35 with $10-$25 reimbursement. I might develop a plan of action for the end of October if the same thing happens. Can you check in to a flight and then cancel it?

So anyway this had a happy ending, the MS sent me an email stating they reset the questionnaire, I just logged in and I answered that first question wrong to make it work and snagged the shop! So far this MSC is impressing me with their response to issues/inquiries.
