Upgrade Of 13" Macbook Air Specs

Bought the 13" Macbook Air early last year with basic specs. Now with some extra cash available, I wanted to upgrade the the RAM to 8G and increase the memory to 512GB. Was informed by the staffs at Apple shop that it cannot be done because this service of upgrading is only available for "on-line"/internet purchase(s) of the Macbook Air and not for "walk-in" customers. Why discriminate?

MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

There's no discrimination. The MacBook Air cannot be upgraded - RAM is soldered to the logic board. The hard drive can be upgraded - see OWC for prices and upgrade instructions. It is quite simple.
