Check the saddles on the bridge. Play each string one at a time, and when you pluck the string, press down on top of the saddle. If it goes away when you do this on a particular string, there you go.
The nut? Raised fret? Warped neck? Maybe your strings are old? When your strings get old they get indentations at the fret positions from all of the accumulated pressure of playing.

And those dicks at the store couldn't figure that out?
I think I'd find another place to shop if I were you, dude!!
don't have any other option, they have good prices, but i will have to find somewhere else for repairs
