This isn't how it works at most Walmarts. Cashiers are allowed to question what the customer is claiming and a sup can and does check against legit ads.

From what I understand customers are supposed to have legit ads, receipts, etc. I work retail (not Walmart) and this is how we do it. I'll have retards try to quote me low prices without any proof too.

If anything, you deserve props for that. 95% of the population would have only done it for a month then jumped ship for the FSA. |

Our Ad Match Guarantee We’re committed to providing low prices every day. On everything. So if you find a lower advertised price on an identical product, tell us and we’ll match it. Right at the register. We gladly match the price in the following types of ads:* Buy one, get one free ads with a specified price Example: Buy one for $2.49, get one free (BOGO) Competitors' ads that feature a specific item for a specified price Preferred shopping card prices for specific items that are in a printed ad For fresh produce and meat items when the price is offered in the same unit type (lb. for lb.; each for each) *The following are guidelines and limitations: We will match any local competitor's advertised price. We do not require customers to have the ad with them to honor a competitor's ad. Items purchased must be identical to the ad (size, quantity, brand, flavor, color, etc.) We do not match the price in the following types of competitor ads: Items that require a separate purchase to get the ad price example: "Buy [item A] to get [item B] for $C" Items with no actual price that require a purchase to get free product example: "Buy both [items A & B] to get [item C] for free" Items that require a purchase to get a competitors' gift card example: "Buy [item A] to get a $B gift card Buy one, get one free (BOGO) ads with no actual price given Going out of business or closeout prices Percentage off example: "All mascara, 40% off" Competitors' private label price promotions We do not honor: Ads when the actual price for items cannot be determined Internet pricing Misprinted ad prices of other retailers "Going out of business" sales or "closeout" prices |

That may be your local store manager's doing, but at the Wal-Mart near my mother's house back in the U.S., customers have to show an advertised price, such as from ads mailed to them or in newspapers. (That Wal-Mart also has no, zero, none, automated self-checkouts, because they know they'll get robbed blind by the FSA if they try it. It's a shitty area.) |

Well, in fairness, if Walmart is telling their cashiers to take the price without evidence and without question then they're basically asking to get robbed. I don't think it's right, and it's obviously dishonest, but you can't rightly say that they aren't asking for it. |

I worked my way through college at a grocery store, and know what y'all are talking about. I saw a co-worker get fired for that very thing. If the cashier and customer were in cahoots, they are seasoned professionals. The cashier was an articulate young black woman, about 18 years old. She did not act evasive or nervous when I chatted with her about this, and even carried the conversation to include some type of supervisor who came by. The supervisor smiled knowingly when we spoke about the dubious prices that were being claimed, and said that she too sees that all the time. The cashier maintained eye contact with me while we talked, and was very open in describing the store's policy. The customer in her late 40s, white, and rough looking. A man with her (husband, perhaps) was about 50, clad in a camo cap and shirt and had a waist length gray ponytail. While it is possible that they know the cashier, I would NOT place them together, and did not get a sense that they had interacted before. I could be wrong, though. *edit - NOT |

SNIP When it was our turn to check out, I asked the clerk about this price match policy. She said that none of the cashiers are allowed to question the customer, and the customer does not have to produce any evidence that the item is actually on sale for a lower price elsewhere. SNIP I was just talking about this last night at dinner. My finacee's mother works at a certain department store which I won't name to avoid making matters worse. Their security policies are likewise an license to steal. 1) If someone steals something in plain sight, nobody other than the ONE authorized security guy is allowed to even as much as confront a patron hands off...and the security guy only works select days and hours so often isn't there at all. Meaning when he's gone, people can walk in, take stuff, walk out and nobody will do ANYTHING about it even if you do it right in front of their face. 2) The security guy is further limited in that he is only allowed to confront a shopper on stolen items that he keeps in sight from point out lifting item to point of leaving store. Meaning if a patron goes in an elevator or ducks a corner with said item and security loses visual for even a couple seconds, game over, shoplifter wins. 3) The sales clerks are REQUIRED to process refunds even without a receipt or any proof that the item was purchased there, or anywhere for that matter. My fiancee's mother has people who come in and grab something off the shelf and then walk right up to the register and ask for a "refund". She is forbidden by policy to turn them down and is not even allowed to say she saw them walk in and steal said item. I get mad just hearing about it. 
So if you ever wondered why a nice dress shirt is $80 at a department store...there you go. That's fucking why.
