Confusing Statements by local Bank Tellers

The tellers that I ask at my local banks all say they either won't be getting Territory or National Parks (if they're even AWARE of them!) quarters in AT ALL, or in rolls by themselves (i.e, any that they receive will be mixed-in among previous issue years)
That's the same response I got when asking about 2009 & 2010 cents! (and, in some places, even nickels & dimes).................
IS THAT TRUE?
Does it only apply to certain banks or their suppliers?
Why do I seem to hear contrary reports from other Forum members who are able to get full rolls of '09 & '10 coins from their banks & are often even notified they're ordered, on their way, or in-stock by their tellers?
Should I be trying any specific Philly-area banks for better results instead? (I was able to get DC quarters at BOA before their source seemed to dry-up)
I got tired of running around and asking banks if they had any state & territory quarter rolls, to the point where I do not plan on saving a roll each for my kids of the National Parks - - just too much hassle or expense if I had to go thru the secondary market - - unless I can be assured they'll have a better distribution system than was evident in 2009.......
I thought it was unfair to have "opening days" around the country for the 4 Lincoln varieties that enabled some dealers, etc to get TONS of rolls at face and make large profits, while the rest of the country was either left high-and-dry, waiting all year, or faced with having to pay the exhorbinant Mint roll prices....... If it will be more of the same in '10, it'll be a shame, personally.
Anyone have info on this?
I also found it strange that rolls of coins with high demand that circulate well (P, N, D, Q) were nowhere to be found at the banks, but you just had to ask, and were pretty much able to get each roll of the basically NON-circulating Presidential Dollars within just a few days of their issuance!
Inquiring minds want to know!
Thanks for all the input!

P.S. I broke-down and bought a few "missing" state & territory quarter rolls to complete my kids' collections recently.... anyone out there have any spare rolls of the following to sell/trade {GA(1), CT(1), AM.Samoa(2)} to help us finally COMPLETE the set, or need any of my following extra rolls? {1 roll each, all H/T, of: OH(D), FL(P), VirginIslands(P)}? If so, please PM me with offers/requests. Thanks!
