If you find an item you had purchased for cheaper, do you get a price adjustment?

If you had bought an item previously and saw that same item now cheaper and it's within the policy (typically varies depending store but averagely 2 weeks or less) - Do you bring your item in for a price adjustment? I always see this policy, but I have never price adjusted anything (besides price match). But, my first time price adjusting was last week at Victoria's Secret. I purchased at Pajama 3 piece set for my sister as a Christmas Gift and paid retail price of $54.50. A few days later, I received an e-mail from Victoria's Secret saying the same exact Pajama set will be only $39.50! Of course, since I was going to the mall anyway (to buy more Christmas gifts) - I mind as well get back $15+ tax (price adjustment difference) right? But the sales associate was giving me a hard time. When I approached her, I was very nice and explained my situation. I had just bought this pajama set a few days ago (wasn't even a week yet) and now the price is $39.50.. I would like to do a price adjustment. Her response: Normally we cannot do this for you, but I will just this one time. Which absolutely made no sense since they have a price adjustment policy. I even told her, it'd be the exact same thing if I returned this pajama set (I had the receipt) and grab the same exact pajama set (or even better give me back the set) and I will re-purchase. I don't understand why some people act as if they own the store. Even if the deadline for price adjustment was over (2 weeks), the receipt is good for 30 days, so I could have just returned the set, get my money back and buy a new set. But my receipt was not even a week old. Regardless, that was my rant and I got my $15+ tax difference back in the end. Questions: 1. If you find an item you had purchased for cheaper, do you get a price adjustment? 2. When you went in for your price adjustment, did the cashier/sales rep give you a hard time?
