I only read 10% of the crap in this thread but it seems to me that if you want to price match, you really should do it at off-peak time. Doing it when the store is busy basically says that you think your time is worth more than everybody else's. Otherwise you wouldn't be price matching, you'd be driving to the stores that advertise that price in the first place.
If you price match during peak hours, you are being a self centred douche. Say want you want to justify it to yourself but your actions speak for themselves.
You seem to be under the impression that price matching takes a lot of time...NO it doesn't...if...you are organized. Those that pile up the belt then hand the flyers to the cashier ARE definitely dumb-ass douche-bags.
First on the belt, all your sh*t that's NOT for price matching, for us that's about 90% of what were buying....
Leave a space, first flyer and product, flyer open to the right page and circled with a marker....
And so on.....By the time we have the last items on the belt 80% of whats on the belt has passed the cashier and I got it bagged already.
Even the order in which you put your sh*t on the belt makes it faster for the cashier and you for bagging.
I'll bet that we are on the way out the door before most people that are not matching prices are.
NOW HOW ABOUT THOSE THAT GO SHOPPING WITH 2 - 5 KIDS IN TOE...do I need to say more.
Yeah, but that's all part of the laziness that people have when they're in a store. They probably just got home from work, from stay-at-home-mom errands and housework or just from a hard day watching the TV screen and they figure it's time to relax for a while as they shop. So it follows that they think the cashiers and stockers should do everything for them and they don't have to be organized or even use any initiative when looking for products, using the self-checkouts, returning carts, etc, etc. And in the end the other customers like Princess Beata have to suffer longer wait times. Actually, never mind, I like those lazy customers.

After all, without lazy customers, cart boys would be out of a job.
