- mcmcmc 8mo agoAre you serious? It increases brand recognition and customer loyalty precisely because it is good for the consumer
- jen20 8mo agoIt's not done for either of those reasons. It's done to remove the decision point around believing you need to comparison shop on impulse purchases, by pretending that a price will be matched later should you find one. However, the terms are usually such that they will never be honoured.
- BigGreenJorts 8mo agoMany groceries near me do price matching, but indeed they limit it to a select few competitors (the big 5's brands in the same price market)
- terminalshort 8mo agoWhen has Amazon ever claimed that? And a price match policy makes no sense for a 3rd party platform like Amazon. That's up to the first party sellers.

- dirtmerchant 8mo agoAmazon does not claim to be “pro-consumer “ Instead they claim to be “customer-obsessed “ Obsession is rarely a net-positive for the target of the obsesser.
