Default Quick question on manual focus lenses?

Whilst looking at some lenses, I notice the specs will say 'minimum focus distance' of like, 1 meter (for a cheap-o 18-55mm). But when I go to the store, look at the exact same lens and get close to an object, I can focus within 1-2.5 inches. What gives?
