We had the terrible pleasure of having to deal with Josue today at self checkout. My girlfriend and I had about 6 small items. So we went to self checkout. We had 2 items that were a different price on the Target ap. So we asked the employee at self-checkout for assistance with price matching. This employee happened to be Josue. When we asked him, he said he could not do that because the price online is separate from in-store. We even pointed to the sign posted at the register that mentioned the price match policy and let him know that we never had this issue before. And the price match policy is even listed online. He of course made everything up he could, to not do his job by saying "Oh my manager just told me that that policy was removed" we still argued and he said "Oh well if the price is different at this Target compared to online or at another Target, there's nothing we can do". We still argued and said if that were true, the policy would not be posted at the register. Josue scratched his head and looked around and started sweating, because clearly he just didnt want to do his job. And he said "Ok, I will make an exception and price match this time, but no other Target will do this", like he was doing us a favor or cutting us a deal. He price matched 1 item and then walked away.
When we let him know there was 1 more item, he pretended like he didnt hear anything. So we went back to him and let him know there was 1 more item, he said again like earlier when he lied "Oh if it's that price on the ap or another Target, there's nothing I can do". So which one is it? The store policy? Or the policy you made up Josue?
I would like to also add, that we were the only people at self checkout. Typically if it's busy, we understand and won't ask for an employee to price match. And to put it into perspective, the items we wanted to price match were $8.50 in store but $5 on the Target ap and the 2nd item was about $7 less on the target ap, so it didnt make sense that the items were market up 40% in store. If it was for .50 cents we wouldn't have cared. But we felt that major price difference of $3.50 plus $7 was worth price matching. And the fact that we were the only customers at self checkout. There was nobody else for Josue to help, made us feel he clearly just didnt want to be helpful or try at all. He really just did not have a sense of care in his body and seemed like we were inconveniencing him.
Anyway, 5 stars for all the other helpful employees that work at this location. It is kind of annoying that we have to wait 10-15 minutes for an employee to come and unlock the cases for some items. But we understand that theft is crazy in modern day, so it makes sense. I'm still happy that employees still come and assist us. So 5 stars for those employees who do their jobs and are helpful. But 1 star for Walmart quality Josue. If I could give him -5 stars, I would. If an employee were a Karen, it would be Josue. read more
