is this possible for an air valve stem to only work 1 way?
Yes. I couldn't draw a convincing picture, but the valve core has to press the chuck and the chuck has to press the valve , WHEN the chuck's gasket is sealed to the body of the valve. If those three don't happen at once, air from the chuck won't go in the tire, chuck will let air out of the tire, etc etc.
Tell your tire store these rubber valves are making you nervous, please put metal ones in - all of'em.
