You'll never buy a bike that fits perfect from a store unless your really lucky! custom maybe but you'll pay for that.
This is just part of fitting the bike to you personally, saddles are one of those one doesn't fit all and you may need to try several till you find one that works for you. Proper fit is a combination of several parts of the bike, everything comes into play at this point.
As far as saddles go I found performance bike to be the best place to start because the have a return policy that allowed me to try and return if I didn't like it I tried several till I found one that worked out.
Try using these steps as a guide line to get you started. Bike Fit and What You Can Adjust after this if it still sore try different saddles.
