I have also heard "we don't price-match the website" many times - and the delivery is often so knee-jerk, it's like they not even considering you, just NOPE, turn you ass around and get out of here
So to hear their official announcement like "we will continue to do this as we always have", can eat a d*ck

Ditto to this too - back during TR/POTP, I had many ad-match/price-match attempts, and the level of success i met with was directly related to how "exactly" the evidence matched - sometimes they wouldn't even match the size class, they'd look at the flyer and the fig I brought up and be like "that's not the same guy, no dice"
Then again, other times they just ring it through like they don't give an F - really depended on who you got, and that's unfortunate

Yeah, I absolutely got the feeling more often than not, that when you approached with an ad-match, it was almost adversarial - like "I the customer service desk employee, am going to find a way to defeat you, the scoundrel who is here to bilk my precious oligarch multi-billion dollar company out of six bucks, you absolute scum"
Though I will say, it came off as generational thing too - younger staff are WAY more easygoing about it - the older the staff was, the more likely they were to turn me away "nah I'm a billion years old and I recognize a goddamned sneak when I see it, with your beard and jean jacket and long hair, goddamned hippies, etc etc etc"
