I am usually a big advocate for smaller bikes, as I am just 5'2.5" with inseam of 28-28.5" and always ride the smallest or second smallest size of any model, but it sounds kinda unlikely that someone 5'5" would need an XS frame (though I don't know the geometry of this model). Like the others have said, don't take the LBS's word for it; you really do need to test ride. And if there are no Smalls anywhere in the model you're interested in, try some different shops and brands. "Your" bike is certainly out there waiting for you somewhere - don't compromise on fit!
