Walmart employee 'adjusted' Natrel prices??

[csaund21]

Hey all!
I was at Walmart today (gosh I love that store!) and they were all out of the 4L bags of 2% Natrel milk. So I asked an associate if there was any in the back and he said "Sorry, we're all out---BUT I can give you 2x 2L of Natrel for $2 each, just tell the cashier that Joel from dairy approved it." OMG! I never knew that they did this, has it happened to anyone else? The guy was a regular associate, not a manager! At the cash I told the cashier and she put it through no problem.......New policy???

Not quite the same, one time I had a coupon for something they were out of stock and she said that they would let me buy another similar product and still use the coupon

I think you lucked out! WTG.

I had the same thing happen to me with Smuckers jam!! The 500ml jar was on sale for $2.97 and they were sold out! So the lady (not a manager either, just a really sweet employee) said that she would give me (2) 250ml jars for the same price - "just tell the cashier that Mary approved it!" AND I had no problem either

Better yet...I had a coupon for the jam! $1 off and since I was now buying 2 jams, the cashier let me use 2 coupons! So .97 cents for 500ml of Smuckers jam!!!

I think this is a great policy/approach to take when something is on sale and out of stock - if there are smaller sized products that equal the same amount - why not!

I know when I had it happen it was the department manager who approved the price adjustment. I needed flea drops and the ones I usually use were out of stock so they let me have the higher priced ones for the lesser price so I didn't have to try another store for them.

It never hurts to ask.

Lots of stores do it, I've had it done at Sobeys, WM, Save on Foods - It's not something that I specifically ask for, and it's not something that happens often, but yes it is sorta common I LOVE it when it does though!

well-run stores & diligent employees will offer this................stores have a varying number of different sale price points throughout the year, so they're not losing money to give you this deal........good for the employee for offering this for you.

I think they might have a policy where if they're out of something, they might sell you a comparable item. Nice deal you scored.
