Default brake rotor turning

Hey guys:

It's time to replace the pads on my 99.5. Also noticed the rotors need turning, and called around to see who could do it for me. Firestone guy said they won't turn Audi rotors; said "you aren't supposed to...". Is that right? If so, why not?

Thanks!

The rotor's are no different from any other car the guy has no idea what he's talking about.
