A week later I found more at Walmart. I got what I needed and went to pay. I did not have the other receipt but told the clerk about the sale at Target. She did not even question but just rang up the sale price. I took that receipt and went back to TRU. Again no figures, again I asked the manager and again he said no. I then loudly announced "So much for your falsely advertised low price guarantee." while standing under the sign and then walked out. I did not make another purchase at a TRU for well over a decade, so you see, it is possible to successfully collect toys without shopping at TRU.


CCC.

You asked for a price match on an item that they didn't have to sell you? But... why?
And you made a scene about it?
And you've held onto this imagined slight for over a decade?
And you think this story reflects badly on anyone but yourself?

Seriously, that's not how price matches work. There's no way he could guarantee a price on an item that would only possibly be available at some indeterminate time in the future. If one retailer has a sale for an item for $X, do you really expect another retailer's price match policy to honor that price in perpetuity?
