Ya think?
Taking the KM-500 back to Guitar Center for new strings and set-up, assumes that the staff there can provide you with either. Locating and height-adjusting the bridge takes some knowledge, and OP might avail him/herself of Cafe member Rob Meldrum's free e-book on mandolin set-up. (Send him a private message with your e-mail address, he'll send it to you.) It would at least make it possible to evaluate what kind of job the GC people did in setting the mandolin up.
