We were at the No Frills Sunday afternoon on September 15, 2013 at 1:30 pm. We did our normal weekly grocery shopping. While at the cash we wanted to price match certain items. The first two items were Yogurt and Five Alive. These were price matched without any problems because they were identical items. However, the head cashier (one who was doing the override) refused to price match the Armstrong cheese. The Walmart had the 500 grams marble brick for $3.94 and the No Frills had the 500 grams rectangular marble. According to the Head cashier, the shape of the packing was not the same.
If No Frills is going to offer price match for groceries, then why didn't they price match the cheese. As a consumer, the cheese is identical ( company, weight and even the fat content etc.) except the shape. I would dare the Head cashier to tell the difference between the cheese besides the shape.
If I get any type of response from the management, that the cashier didn't know. It will be totally unacceptable. The Head cashier was a 50 something lady. It was not a young Head cashier with a week on the job.
In the future, I will not be going to No Frills. I will either go to Wal-Mart or Fresco. They price match policy is no questions asked.
I wonder what will happen if I had to price match fresh produce. Then the reasoning for not price matching would be that the produce is not from the same country!!!!!
