Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, February 07, 2012

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Those who greet customers at the entrance of Walmart stores nationwide are uneasy about a change in their duties.

Greeters no longer man the front doors during the 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift at the stores, and this month they were moved deeper into the stores to help shoppers find what they're looking for and navigate the aisles.

"They'll still greet. That's still an essential part of their position," Walmart spokeswoman Ashley Hardie told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. The move inside and the new duties were implemented in the past two weeks, and no positions were eliminated, Hardie said.

I once saw an old greeter handing out bad carts to foreign people and the good ones to white people. when one woman asked for a better cart he dressed her down. it was embarrassing to watch but the fight was entertaining.

I can't believe Walmart is so upscale now.

"Greeters no longer man the front doors during the 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift at the stores"

No shit, they're closed.

"No shit, they're closed."

Some are now open 24 hours. The closest to me was, albeit in December.

Who needs a greeter at 3am?

By the way, I haven't gone to a Wal-Mart in 10 years, so I defer to your knowledge.

I used to be a contracted security guard at wal-mart. I used to sleep most of my shift in the pickup they gave me to patrol the parking lot. At 9 bucks an hour I wasn't about to get out in 15 degree weather and try to stop somebody without a gun.

"I haven't gone to a Wal-Mart in 10 years, so I defer to your knowledge."

I didn't go either. I was looking for canning jars, and made a phone call asking about hours.

But I'll defer to your deference.

It isn't so bad I just bought 500 rds of 22 ammo for 12 bucks there.

I see you've met the guy who posted this article.

Hmmm...just when you think there's nothing a poster can say that you would agree with, a little jewel like this pops up.

"I was looking for canning jars"

I like that explanation. It's got a bit of the Renaissance man about it.

Then again, I'm reminded of a scene with Woody Allen from his movie "Bananas" - www.youtube.com

The greeters at my Wal-Mart are all creepy and retarded looking. They are part of the reason I stopped going there.

.......Walmartians.......
