I'm not welcome at WalMart anymore!
 
OMG. Have you noticed? There are no more greeters in Walmarts any more. They fired them all a few weeks ago.

What's next? No more greeters at The Villages Sales Office?

This place is going to the dogs! :icon_wink:

Ooooh, nooo....No Sales Office greeters??

What would they do with all those green shirts???

Send them overseas to wherever all the preprinted "Patriot Super Bowl Champs" shirts went, I guess......

When I saw the title, I thought this post was going to be about "The Purina Diet" joke as in "They won't Let Shop There Anymore". A very funny joke.

Jeff Dunham's puppet, "Walter" was a Wal-Mart greeter.

He used to greet people with:

"Welcome to Wal-Mart, get your sh** and get out. Have a nice day".

Maybe that's why they have gotten rid of the Wal-Mart greeters. :)

Seriously, I hope they don't eliminate the need for the "Lobby Hosts"? That is something I thought I would do if I needed some bucks in the future.

We were at Walmart this past Sunday and there were greeters.

They won't need shirts like that for a while. :)

They can recycle the material for when the Giants repeat next year ! :a040:

I also can not go to Walmart with out an escort. Was over there this week end when a lady walked by in a pair of tight jeans and across the back was the word "Guess." So I did, asked her if it was Extra Large.

Not accurate. I've been at Walmart twice this week and there were greeters there both times.

Its not just in the villages / lady lake walmart. I found out here last week here in NC that the let all the greeters go around the 1st of the month. Pretty sure its national. After visiting the sales center there in the villages I doubt there is anything to worry about :) Lots of business in and out. My dad was even commenting when he retires he could pickup up a nice part time job like that.

I am still in California but I read in the news paper recently that all Walmart greeters were being moved into the interior of the stores and will be doing chatting with customers and giving directions and assistance now. Of course any oldsters who could not handle the walk and talk would be terminated.

My wife was in Walmarts on 466 this afternoon and she said there were greeters present!

2BNTV, is it true you received the following letter from Walmarts recently?

Dear Sir,



Over the past six months, you have caused quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban you from the store. Our complaints against you are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras.
  1. June 15: You took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people’s carts when they weren’t looking.
  2. July 2: You set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
  3. July 7: You made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women’s restroom.
  4. July 19: You walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, ‘Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away’. This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted with a union grievance, causing management to lose time and costing the company money.
  5. August 4: You went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway.
  6. August 14: You moved a ‘CAUTION – WET FLOOR’ sign to a carpeted area.
  7. August 15: You set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers you’d invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department, to which twenty children obliged.
  8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help you, you began crying and screamed, ‘Why can’t you people just leave me alone?’ EMTs were called.
  9. September 4: You looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while you picked your nose.
  10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, you asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.
  11. October 3: You darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the ‘Mission Impossible’ theme.
  12. October 6: In the auto department, you were singing "Like a Virgin" while practicing your ‘Madonna look’ by using different sizes of funnels.
  13. October 18: You hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled ‘PICK ME! PICK ME!’
  14. October 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, you assumed a fetal position and screamed ‘OH NO! IT’S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!’

    And last but not least:
  15. October 23: You went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, and then yelled very loudly, ‘Hey! There’s no
    toilet paper in here.’ One of the clerks passed out.
Say it ain't so 2B, say it ain't so!!!

Dang. I was trying to fly under the radar but you nabbed me. :)

You are a hoot. :1rotfl: Where do you find all the good stuff?

It ain't so, Joe.
