How to get an XR11 remote

How do I get a replacement for my broken XR11 voice remote?

I walked into my local Xfinity store and was told it would be more than an hour wait, and they could not check inventory to see if the XR11 was in stock while I waited. No thanks.

So I made an appointment for a few days later. I showed up 5 minutes early and was told to wait. 20 minutes later (!!!) it was finally my turn and I was told that they didn't have the XR11 in stock. Sometimes they have it, sometimes they don't. Today they don't.

At this point I'm willing to pay the $5.95 to get one shipped to me, so I tried the Xfinity Assistant. There's no way to specify which model you want and you sent me the XR15, which I do not want.

Then I went to chat support and they apologized for sending the wrong remote and assured me they would send an XR11. Nope. I got another XR15, this time the slightly redesigned model (which is only slightly less awful). I still don't want it.

Next I called customer support. Again they apologized and said this time they would make sure to send the XR11. Said they noted it on the work order and put a note in my account. And a few days later I received an XR2. Not even a voice remote!

So, any ideas on how to get an XR11?

@XfinityBenjaminM​ Well that was not helpful. Support in PM said they could not send an XR11 and told me to go to the local store. So at this point I guess the only solution is to keep randomly going to the store until they just happen to have the X11 in stock? That's ridiculous.
