Walmart is changing its price match again....at least the Walmart by my house is. Yesterday, with a cart full of groceries and more, I had the cashier haggle me on the price match information that was good the last time I shopped there (two weeks ago) that they are supposedly changing now. So here's what I was told....
First, I was told that they will not price match on store brand products. I have price matched at Walmart for years and this has not ever been the case.
Then, I was told that they don't price match on deals of buy 5, save $5 (etc) or 10/$10 deals. Now this has always depended on the cashier to some degree but it was still irksome.
Third, she told me there was a limit on the number of items I could price match. This AFTER she'd scanned an entire cart of groceries and I'd TOLD her at the start, I would be price matching and I was setting those items aside so that she wouldn't have to hassle with them at the end.
Finally, she told me I couldn't price match AND use a coupon. Let me tell you something, sister, I've been doing it for years. I could care less about your new manager cracking down. This is malarkey.
In short, I will no longer be doing any grocery shopping at Walmart (though I'll still buy toiletries there, etc if necessary). If you are going to up and change policies and leave your loyal customers out on the line to dry, I'm not interested in spending hundreds of dollars there. I'll go to King Soopers where I may or may not spend a little bit more money but at least I'll gain discounts on fuel and I can coupon to my heart's desire.
Shame on you, Walmart, shame on you.
