Wal-Mart Stores Inc has informed managers of its roughly 5,000 stores across the United States that they can match prices with Amazon.com Inc and other online retailers, the head of the company's U.S. business said on Thursday.

Well that must be nice.
I hate the self checkout lanes. Stores care so little for their customers they won’t even provide a person to take their money.
think real carefully now.........would that be the fault of the shipper or the carrier?????????????????????
Amazon has excellent customer service.
When I have a problem, they fix it promptly. No wonder they’re the world’s No 1. online merchant.
What I buy gets delivered on time.
they have PLENTY of manned checkout lines...the automated lanes are all manned by one person, quite enough. They have certain items, booze, some glue products, produce, etc that might require help....no problems at all!!!
The Home Depot manager matched the best price I could find on line for a new stainless gas grill.
The walmarts near me will let customers wait in line for 20 to 30 minutes on a regular basis.
“We match competitors’ prices”. Big deal. If I find a price that is lower than WM or any other store, why should I go back there and get the same price? I’ll buy it at the first store who has a lower price for the same item.
Offer me 10% less and perhaps it’s a different story.
“Offer me 10% less and perhaps it’s a different story.”
They do. Compared to Publix, Wal-mart grocery prices are about fifteen per cent less.
OK, I was talking of a situation where Item X was $20 at WM or other box store and then you discover the same item at a competitor for $15. Why would I go back to WM, etc., show them their competitors lower price, and buy from them? Why not just buy the $15 item at the first store?
To me it is a meaningless phrase because of that part of human nature. Probably they are thinking of you seeing Item X advertised and you bring it to WM, etc. Again, unless you’re going to WM already, there’s no point in going out of your way when there is no price differential.
Not anymore. They started collecting it in TN starting back in January. My Amazon purchases declined by 90%.
Walmart won’t even match their OWN prices. You can buy a product online and pick it up in 2 hours at your local Walmart...but if you go in the store, the prices are higher.....and they will not match the online price. Really dumb.
A neon green speedo four sizes too small will do that to you.
Walmart decided to go with Hispanics and queers as their customers. Hispanics don’t have a bunch of money even though there are many and the ones with money don’t shop at Walmart. Queers are freaks but tend to be wealthy and Walmart is not their cup of tea.
They should have stuck to catering to Christians in middle America as that includes all races. This made the Left mad but every time a corporation, small business, etc. go dark in meeting the demands of the left, they go out of business. Ask JC Pennys how going queer porn worked out. Ask msnbc,ncb,abc,cnn, etc. Lefty starbucks is hurting now, too. McDonalds went to advertising the business as “black.” They were doing real well, too./s/ Racism and other sin does not produce wealth. CEO’s need to be held responsible for their mental problems.
I know, you’re right.
I actively try to avoid, however, the more blatant ones.
Subway, for instance, held hands publicly with Michelle Obama’s terrible food policy. No more Subway.
Target wrote an amicus brief supporting sodomy. No more Target. Same with General Mills.
I can’t investigate every retailer, but the ones that I do know about and are public with their support for idiocy and danger, I will stay away—they will lose my business.
