The clerk who helped me was very nice and pleasant and honestly tried to help me. After some checking, he advised me that the store manager has them locked up and is at lunch. Why he would keep an item that you are selling locked up where no one else can get to them does not make sense to me. I went back today and another clerk tried to help me make my purchase. He called to the store manager's office on speaker phone and was told that they have the non-resident fishing license in the office. He went to the office to get them and came back and said that they do not have them. I asked to speak to the store manager. The store manager then told me that the clerk was told "he went to go get some". I advised him that the clerk had called the office and was told that there are some in the office. I told the store manager that I do not appreciate being lied to. The store manager then called to the office and some one else came out from the office and said they do not have them. I do not appreciate being lied to two days in a row and with customer service like that, I will take my business elsewhere.
