The official policy for Walmart and Target is that they don't price match % off sales, only specific price sales.
So any 40% off sale technically should be denied price match.
One of the reasons for this is because matching a % off wouldn't be a price match, but a price beating due to
varying original prices that the % off is taken from. So if Walmart has a leader class for 49.97 and TRU's is 59.99, TRU has a 30% off sale and Walmart would have to take 30% off their own price, which if already $10 lower is not price matching TRU's sale price...you guys get the point.
As for the 'has to be the exact figure shown in the picture on the flyer' thing, I have heard that before and indeed that is just the particular employees being dumb and stonewalling, it is a line they use if they are unsure.
