I've only got so much time in a day to go behind them and re-stack everything for their minimal purchase. They were eventually told to not come back.

Keep your lumber stacked properly and in the shade and it will stay straight for years.

I don't understand. Once it comes off the pile it will warp? So I buy straight boards but end up with warped boards later?

Yes, depending on how you store them. Lay them flat in your garage, out of the sun, you are fine. Throw them willy nilly in the back of your pick-up where they are all criss-crossed like a pile of toothpicks, they will bend and twist. And even faster in the sun.
