As a retail employee, I wish more people knew about requesting that cashiers match internet pricing. I always feel so conflicted because I know that if they ask I have the ability to match it if they don't know it or don't ask they just pay full price. Our managers do not want us to broadcast this but at the same time want us to provide the customer with a magical shopping experience and cater to them.

Sharing these kinds of things creates loyalty, in my opinion. I'm much more likely to continue shopping at a place where the employees actually care about the customers and want us to save as much money as possible. I mean, it doesn't come out of the cashier's pocket, so I personally don't think there's any harm in sharing those kinds of benefits. Especially with the cost of living these days!

Totally agree! Also with certain stores return policy being 30/60 days, if the customer realizes they could’ve gotten it a discounted price match within that time frame they have every right to return it and essentially the cashier can do a return/exchange for the discount price they originally could’ve gotten. It looks better sales wise as well to see something bought with a little bit of a discount than having to do a full refund for a return, due to they could’ve gotten the price match in the first place:) also being honest about store benefits builds customer loyalty!

Oh wow, I didn't even know that people had to ask. My company runs the same sales online as they do in store so we don't ever have that issue. I am going to make sure to remember this for the future.

Retails stores don't want people to take their stuff for free. When I was a cashier at a retail store, a lot of people used to do price match but they stopped that eventually and so many customers were mad about that.

Yea I definitely get why stores stopped doing price matching. It’s been awhile since I’ve been a cashier and we always use to price match which I thought helped the customer but it wasn’t helping us as a company.
