When I worked there (up until about a year ago) they wouldn't. They wouldn't even pricematch another Walmart if one of the other stores in the city had a better price and the customer showed a receipt. The managers were real bastards about it, it has to be in a newspaper ad or something.

the walmart in my town price matches receipts, they always have em stapled to a price card of the item on the shelf thats right by the enterence of the store. Its either receipts or the ads of other stores; walmart wants to show they can be cheaper.

NO, i have tried to, they will price match competitors but not their site, even hauled the manager out there and gave him the 3rd degree but he did not budge.

Yeah, that's the thing, I doubt they even have a written policy about this anywhere. It's decided on the whim of each manager, but the overall corporate culture would suggest that most of them are going to be very strict about it to save the company a couple bucks. It always amazed me that they wouldn't pricematch something to satisfy a customer and lose a couple bucks, then they take back a Xbox with the seal broken from when the customer busted it trying to put a mod chip in with a big shiteating grin on their face.
