My main concern is similar, that while an already feeding ball python has a good shot of making it out of the care of the horrible pet store and into the (hopefully properly educated) hands of a new owner, one that is not feeding will surely die in the hands of the pet store. Not from a lack of force feeding or assist feeding, but from the fact that the workers probably do not know what they are doing.

Exactly.
If the animal actually dies in the store then there is a chance someone in management becomes aware of that. Perhaps after the 5th time they kill a python management at that store will stick to easy feeding high turnover animals.
But if every time they bring a snake to the edge of deaths door....it's adopted...
...they are always going to replace that animal ASAP.
In the long run adoption of that nearly dead animal might help that one animal but that action is not a good thing for ball pythons.
(The vet bills might end up costing you a fortune if it's that far along)
