I found Hot Spot at Wal-Mart yesterday so I brought it to the register to have it price matched, I even brought up the Toys 'R Us flyer on my phone. I was told they couldn't price match it because it was a discounted percentage and not a dollar value.
I then spoke with another manager since I wasn't satisfied with that answer and apparently they can't do basic math to get the sale price, they need it to be written there for them. The original price is listed on the website, the discounted percentage is listed, I don't understand the complication in multiplying 2 numbers together.
On top of that, the manager told me that they couldn't even match it if any percentage discount was listed anywhere in the advertisement. For example, if the flyer read, "On sale for $10" they could match it. However if the flyer read, "On sale for $10, 30% off" then they couldn't discount it, even though it's stating the sale price right there. It all hinges on whether or not there is a percentage listed anywhere in the advertisement.
Is this right? Is anyone else price matching this week? Can you post photos of your receipts so I can email them to Wal-Mart's customer service? Thanks a lot.
