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?

I challenged their veracity on a policy they had only used to drive a competitor out of the market and then stopped honoring. At that time I could still shop at Walmart, Target, and K Mart, so they still had every reason to stay competitive, but chose not to. That is not good business, in spite of your opinion. Those policies exist to promote competition, not to ignore it.
