I was having a discussion w/my brother Alex the other day, and he suggested that I become a Wal-Mart greeter (other people have advised me to do so in the past, since it's a decent job where my physical ailment would be irrelevant.)
However, a while back I heard that many Wal-Mart's across the country were eradicating the greeter position,so that is unfortunate.
With the eradication of the greeter position @ many Wal-Mart stores, a life line for many who otherwise have trouble getting hired (I'm thinking particularly of the elderly & disabled) was severed.
What do you think on this?

It is a bit of a conundrum, a bit degrading because their role was never specified, sometimes they would greet other times they would check to see if you stole something most looked like they did not want to be there.I am 70 should be retired drinking a malibu coke on the beach yet companies like this killed my retirement and now I work for them again. Just saying has to be a better way.
