I was under the impression that all tarantulas web the ground, but I could be wrong.Theraphosa sp. don't tend to web a great deal.... Also it was an assumption based on the tarantulas appearance....
Maybe the guy at the PS new fully of the gender of the tarantula and upon talking to the OP heard his fears of not wanting a male so decided to say that the tarantula in question was female anyway to lure sale taking into account how far the OP had traveled to pick up the said tarantula (you don't work for PetCo do you?)
This has been mentioned a few times on previous pages....
Obviously.....
Firstly everyone falls into the bracket of people are just people, you included. The OP came here for advice from people who keep this species. And to be honest it sounds like your knowledge on the Theraphosa genus leaves much to be desired.....
Thats a big maybe that the guy at the pet store knew that. A lot of the things you said were big maybes.
I don't see what my knowledge on any genus has to do with what I said. I could be wrong on this too, but I'm fairly sure the only direct advise I gave him was I wouldn't keep a tarantula that size in a 10g. Really though it sounds like your general knowledge of the Theraphosa genus isn't all that great either.
