If the Target stores had them, I would have just bought them from there... what's the point of offering a price-match policy if you are only going to match exact products and not products within the product's range, just to make some money from the customer. If you are only going to match exact items that are in stock at a store the customer just went to in order to get the price in the first place, then the customer wouldn't waste the time coming to your store just for that item.
It depends on the clerk. It's like all the stories about getting nugget sauce at U.S. Mc Donalds. They act like their job is on the line lol. I'd try again if they had a different clerk the next time you see them. Them calling the nearest store is a new one And lazy from them, should have argued with them with what you said about buying from the other stores if they had stock. I've been able to price match some items that were only located ages away xD (e.g Mandurah lol).

Tl;dr try another time with a different clerk.
