You may have had a clerk that was new. Call the store and complain. Tell them you want a discount in order to pay you back for the gas to get back down there or a store credit on something else.
If that doesn’t work email corporate.
I had a local Home Depot that was just being ignorant over a policy. I wrote an email to Home Depot telling them they were screwing over their customers and how boneheaded that was in today’s economy.
I think the local store manager emailed me everyday for a week asking me to come in and talk to him so he could fix my issue. I couldn’t get him to give me the time of day before that.
I don't think so... when I said that I'd never had to show a pistol permit before, he said, "Not when *I* was here." Very self-assured -- smug, rather.

Did that. We shall see what kind of response I get. If I do get a response, I'll post it here.
In the meantime, one of the respondents on this thread pointed out that the same item on the company's website was being offered with free shipping. So I ordered it that way! and avoided the sales tax to boot.
