When you say you price matched, can you explain more? Sorry for the ignorance. Does the price matched store have to be in the area you are shopping?
Thanks for any information you can share on this subject!
Aarn Farmer says
Yes, the store you are price matching needs to be within a 50 mile radius of your Walmart and Walmart will match their advertised price. Just tell tour cashier what the price is at check out and they will change the price for you.Once I get back to my computer I’ll send you a few more resources.
Eve says
Can the cashiers handle the price match for another store’s ad or do you go to the Customer Service checkout? I have had some real winners as cashiers at Walmart and I’m not sure they could handle a price match.??
Aarn Farmer says
Yes they can. I only go to customer service if there is some intractable problem in line and I don’t want to hold it up anymore. I put all my price matched items on the conveyor belt together and tell the cashier I have price matches right when they start scanning and before he grabs my first item, I say “Those tomatoes are 3/$.99lb at a local store”. Most of them are well trained enough to know how to handle it but if you get a noob, ask for the CSM. You aren’t supposed to need the ads themselves but i always have them just in case. Let me know if you have any questions!
