Yeesh. Ordering charcoal at the price advertised would have been WAY too easy.
When I would click on the ad for the 8.94 deal, the next screen would show it at the higher price. I called one store about this, and not only could they not help me, but they said they don't even carry that product. They did give me the main line to the walmart.com dealio, though, and I called that. More holding and checking, and they tried to have me call back the next day to talk with the 'Tier 2 Price Matching Team'. I said I would, but also suggested that it shouldn't be so difficult to just get a price that was promised. She eventually did some more checking and decided that I could put my order through, and then she would just adjust the order. So that's what we did.
TL;DR: I just waited on the phone WAY too long with walmart, and wanted to share the direct line to the walmart.com with y'all. It's 1.800.966.6546
PS: I know I shouldn't have spent so much time just to save 50 cents per bag of charcoal, but I'm One of the Charcoal People, you see, and it's THE PRINCIPLE! ;-)
