Okay walmart, enough, make up your mind!!!!
Okay, I think I am pretty easy going. Well most of the time.
Although I soooooo appreciate the Price Matching idea -please-please make-up your mind already, LOCAL, PROVINCE, CANADA no QUEBEC.. WT#@%^&!!!!
I know check with customer service, I do, check the policy and keep updated with all the blogs, I do and even our local Couponers club is kind enough to do all the legwork to let us know which one does what here in Ottawa and advises check with Customer Service. We still run into, a cashier who does not know that ONTARIO is in CANADA, I swear!!! if my husband would not have been there I would have thought I had been hearing things. So after speaking with the cashier and she explains no QUEBEC, we are literally 7 minutes from Gatineau/Aylmer, doesn't matter if it is the stores on the Quebec side that are closer than the ones I am trying to price match locally...no!!! then the supervisor comes and says no but Ontario okay. Okay so we take all Quebec flyers away and all the shopping we had and then the cashier says to the print-outs it does not say ONTARIO in the title I am not price matching this..(I have the SMARTCANUCK print from one side (left) has store and date - right side has the sale page. I circle the name and write NAME, I circle the DATE and arrow to write DATE, circle the item and arrow to WHERE I write the name, weight and price and conversion if any. Simple enough?? So I start taking away no province indicated and by then my husband is about to blow a gasket and throw 10 lbs of onions against a wall. I said okay may I speak with the manager please. So the cashier calls the assistant person, she calls the manager and he says no QUEBEC. We are still at no ONTARIO indicator, cashier is moving everything to the end as if it were hers and is sighing and getting upset with us and she is arguing that some of these places are not in CANADA..I kid you not...It was a in' episode of the Twilight Zone. We wait and wait and finally the Manager a nice easy going guy smiles and says how can I help you. So after some back and forth, he let us Price Match from everywhere and he was going to look into it but still between the 3 of them, no clear answer. The assistant manager she said she had been there for 2 years and they never PM other than local but she approved some PMing last time we were there 2 weeks ago...YES the same one.. Anyways with all this we were holding-up the line, my husband and I were apologizing to everyone waiting. Only one cashier in regular line and the rest were all in the EXPRESS 1-12 items, so if you have more than 12 you don't dare go in the long line to be told...to go away, too many items..
Now this Walmart is one of the few left that does Price Match Canada Wide in our end of town. Now from the customer service desk to the managers, cashiers and assistant managers no one knows what anyone is allowing but they are all confident about their answers..that is the weirdest part. If I am encountering this I this I know I am not the only one yet no one is complaining about it or hardly??? Well I am. It is awesome that we can Price Match, I always tell people that ask, we are in our early 50s, we have paid full retail all of our lives and that includes before Dollarama and shopping across the Border shopping. When a few IGA stores, Towers and K-MART and Zellers were our only choices and I bought on credit to make ends meet. If you need a plunger you paid what it went for 5.97, not 1.00. and wages were different and times were different. We work hard for our money and finally we get a break before we die and can save on some essentials.
But you're going to send me and my husband and other customers not just couponers into anxiety attacks to see if they will approve a PM while we are trying to process your order???? And those poor cashiers, not this one she was nasty..I tried to be nice and thanked her often and am really organized and explain everything...still..she was nasty...she was a certain age and other things...YUcky!!!!
Well I don't feel better but just thought I'd share, I know someone else is feeling this. I am still shaking my head, just tell me once and for all. I will follow the rules but tell me what they are once and for all. THE END.
NOTE: Tried with TABLET, not quick enough and if DH is shpooing without me-still have to print because he is not a fan of technology.
