So when they use the "cleaning" excuse, what do they mean, like wiping it down with a cloth or something?

The "cleaning" excuse means either they were getting ready to clean it or they were playing with it.
This x1,000!

I do the same thing. I always get weird looks at gun stores when I do it right after they do (I don't trust people, I guess). And with pistols, I hand it back to them with the slide locked to the rear.
