Walmart cutting Greeters from Workforce
[link to www.kcrg.com (secure)]

Walmart is cutting greeters from its workforce, and some workers with disabilities say the company is targeting them.

More than a thousand store locations are making the switch to customer hosts instead of greeters. This means higher pay, more responsibility and more physical demands.

One employee, who has cerebral palsy, says he will lose his job as a Walmart greeter in April. Because of his physical limitations like heavy lifting and standing, he says he cannot apply as a customer host.

Walmart says it will extend its transition period to see if employees with disabilities can be accommodated.

See...

This is why I'm getting ready to start a non-profit, like Goodwill, but FAR less shady than they appear to be.

Donate your unwanted items for a tax credit, let those with both psych and physical disabilities run the place;

A veteran with PTSD can certainly do accounting and bookkeeping. A downie kid can certainly mop floors and stock shelves. The autistic savant can figure out the values of the donated items as they roll in. The single mom previously on welfare mans the register. Meanwhile, the public that needs it gets affordable goods at a massively discounted price.

Who loses in this scenario?

Okay, no one here becomes a millionaire, but everyone benefits.

It serves a niche that often gets lost.

That's funny they were talking at work today (not Walmart) about how Walmart greeters are now checking ALL bags before people leave because too much is being stolen.

I noticed this last night at Walmart myself.

25 registers and only 2 are open at any one time.

A true warrior fights not because he hates the one in front of him, but because he loves those behind him.

Greeters? I always wondered what those idiots were doing there...I just grab a cart and try to run them over.
