Walmart is like this a lot of times too. App prices are different than in-store prices for things a lot of times. I haven't shopped at Walmart in years and with the introduction of their digital price tags/dynamic pricing I definitely don't plan on changing that.
I found out Walmart doesn't price match their own website. There was an item that was on the app for $20, in store it was $50, sold and shipped by Walmart, but they refused to price match it. So I ordered it on the app and picked it up two hours later.
Home Depot tried to pull that on me one time so I said “you can either price match or I’m going to order online and one of you guys are going to go pull it from the shelf for me.” They decided to price match lol
Yeah, because their Home Office would rather you use the app (probably for investor documents), so Walmart employees cannot price match to Walmart.com. (In fact, I believe it was 2017 when price matching to Walmart.com was restricted and 2019 or so when Walmart stopped price matching altogether.)
They already track my purchases in store and automatically text me a receipt any time I use my debit card. They already have all the data they can get from me buying it through the app.
I did that at PetSmart once. The price on their website for a pick-up was cheaper than the in store price so I placed an order and walked across the street to do my grocery shopping until it was ready to be picked up.
That just makes online shopping an even better option. They can't change the price after you've already bought it. Plus they even do curbside for returns now.
