These are showing "Local Pickup" here in a couple of stores.
I thought there was one size narrower, but the 25/32 should fit most narrow tires. Anyway, the best way to verify stock is to go to the store and see what is on the shelf. Also try other local department stores.

I mean, I can understand being a little bit out of tolerance, but this is ridiculous:
I only buy them online now. But I never see 700c tubes at Walmart any more either.

That is the first thought that came to mind when I read your post.
You might try using the narrowest shrader-valve 26" innertube they have at your nearby walmart, but it may not work well, especially at higher pressures.

Even Walmarts I've seen with 700 tubes either keep cheap Bells or a really heavy duty Goodyear that is a monster to keep as a spare in a seat bag. Some may carry Presta and/or Schrader.

We're just opposite. I have low profile rims on both my bikes and the LBS's around here are only stocking longer stems. Once I was desperate, Walmart was out, the bike shop close to my house was out of everything but 60mm stems. 2-1/4" looked like six inches sticking out of my Weinmann A124 concave rims. I was so happy when it finally flatted.

It was this forum that got me using Presta Tubes on Schrader rims. I have since found the Touring bike crowd do it a lot to have an easier time finding replacement tubes in small out of the way places.
There is nothing wrong with using Presta Tubes on Schrader rims as long as you have an adapter. It if is worth it or not is a different question.
A lot of forum members also say the adapter isn't important. Quite a few people on the forum claim decades and thousands of miles of no problems running Presta on Schrader rims.
Doing what I have been doing is in no way unusual.

. An adapter makes sense
In a pinch, or all the time?
For me, I run shrader tubes in my shrader wheels, older folks forget , So tubes in the seat bag & spares in the fridge (don’t tell my wife)
Presta the same
Went tubeless on Sirrus road bike
Carry presta tube in seat bag

I always carry a spare tube. Makes on the road puncture repair so much quicker.
