Does anyone care that Walmart has greeters at the door, is this stupid or what, are Walmart management fools?

Now that you mention it, yes, it does seem utterly foolish to have a redundant employee saying hello as if they were running a yard sale.

Yes, becaue Wal-Mart is the devil. They mistreat their employees. Because of this the employees are rude to customers. Plus WM takes away from small businesses. I never go there no matter how good their prices. I like to maintain my quality of life and fighting my way through aisles of welfare families isn't my idea of a good time.

Walmart is a private business, they have the right to sell or not sell the items they want. Unless laws dictate them one way or another.  I feel it is great that they are concerned about what they do sell.  And since there are other choices of stores to shop at, if one doesn't like it, they can shop somewhere else.  Just like I have the option of not shopping at stores selling things I don't agree with

For Target the store?  We'll where I live Walmart and Target are next door to each other. I see that as a strength because they are close to eachother you are not shopping to the one closest to your home, you are shopping at the one you rather go too.  I hate going into Walmart, for me I would drive that extra mile to go to Target....

That absolutely does not scare me.  That is what should be happening all the time.  Unfortunately, this is just a pre-election stunt.\n\nIf anyone remembers two years ago, ICE (or was it the INS at that time) busted Walmart for hiring illegal alien janitors.  All the politicians trotted this out as being tough on corporate cheaters who circumvent U.S. labor law.\n\nHow many companies have been busted for this since then?  Hmmm.  None?  This is just a big splashy news story that won't be followed up by any more actions of this type.

Very mixed feelings here...certainly there are some socio-economic considerations involving any Walmart store, but do we really want to empower government to the point that it can decide where people should conveniently shop in their community?\n\nOverall I guess I would likely oppose any ban on free enterprise and so I would oppose the San Diego city council decision...\n\nJust a thought...

They should not be stopped from operating, but they should be unionized. So should Wally World.  \n\nYou go try working at Walmart or a sweat shop, and then you tell us what you think.\n\nJust go talk to some people at Walmart. Not a few, but get a good sampling.  I did.  And I came away with the impression that walmart not only treats its workers poorly,  but they intimidate and bribe them.  They divide and exploit them.

Personally, I think Walmart is nothing but a greedy corporate giant that doesn't care about anything but making money. They treat their employees like crap(I used to work there) and have the worst benefits you can think of. If it wasn't for other stores being so far away I wouldn't even shop at Walmart, but the Walmart in my town is only about a mile away. I really have no choice. I don't like it, but I do it anyway. :(\n\nI can't stand Walmart!!!

I can't say that I actually hate walmart, however, I don't like some of the policies they have. It's convenient for me to shop there, because in my town, we don't have very many department stores to choose from. Trust me, if another large chain would happen to come here, I'd shop there. We do have a Meijer Store, but their prices are higher on many things.

It's laziness...\n\nI hate when I get my change and receipt from a cashier and I tell them "Thank you" and they say "Uh-huh" to me. I don't mean to be snobby, but I think stores should train these kids to have better customer service.

DO NOT WORK FOR WAL-MART. I've been with them for over 5 years and I'm looking at getting out of that F**King place. \n\nThe store manager is an a**. The manager over me (somewhat) is a C**K sucker. \n\nWal-Mart only cares about one thing. MONEY. I've known people be told that they couldn't have a day off cause of this or that and they said fine. F U I quit. It was for a lagit reason that they needed it off, but they didn't care. But the managers can just up and leave when ever they want to.\n\nYou pay a arm and a leg for jack sh*t benifts. DO NOT BELIVE WHAT WAL-MART SAYS IN THE MEDIA. IT IS A BIG FAT LIE.\n\nIf you want retail I would go to Target. When I worked there almost 10 years ago they were great to work for. The benifts here are alot better. But I don't know about know because it has been so long. Things might have changed.\n\nI don't even shop there unless I absolutly have to. I go to Target where I get better quality stuff and better customer service.\n\nTo sum it all up, if Wal-Mart calls with a job offer tell them\n\nTO SHOVE IT UP THERE A**. \n\nthen go and apply at the local Target.

I work at Walmart and it is true. A vendor comes in and stocks the merchandise, displays the programs through the store and changes what is needed. At this time, I cannot tell you the name of the vendor, but I know I could find out if need be. It just never came about in the past as to whom they are since I don't work that particular department.  If the store is informed that they cannot sell a movie or DVD prior to a certain day and time but the store does in fact sell it prior, that company has every right not to place the product in the store. Therefore, that would be more of a loss if they removed all movies, etc from the shelves

OMG!  The mall was packed when I drove by, not a parking spot left in sight!\n\nMy guess is that retailers are pushing it more and more....\n\nHeck-Walmart had their holiday stuff out since end of August! I hate going to the garden center during 80 degree weather and seeing christmas trees and snow shovels! ;o

It took me that long to get help too. I think that the workers that are floating around don't really know what they're doing, and if you want someone to mix a gallon of paint for you, you need to find the one person in the store who is qualified to run the mixer...and he's usually out back somewhere, having a smoke and grumbling about being underpaid......\n\nStores like Walmart give the illusion of helpfulness, but really they're just a pain in the ass.

I hate Wal-Mart! I never shop there unless I have to I absolutely cannot find the item anywhere else. \nI boycotted them for several reason:\n1) the reason you stated. Have you seen the episode of  Frontline about it?\n2) extremely poor service. If you go in there looking for something, you can never find it & if you ask someone that works there they send you on a wild goosechase before you find out they do not even carry it! Last time I was in there, I went for two items, it took forty-five minutes & I was not able to get either one of them! One of the items [Scotchgard] they did not even know what it was! Then I lost money in the soda machine, but the line for customer service was wrapped all the way around to the corner of the store, filled with people wanting to make returns. I asked a manager if they could help me & they said waiting in that line was the only way to get my money back. They only had one of three counters open, but there were several employees just standing around gossiping. The manager could have at least sent people over to open the two other counters so people did not have to wait so long. I have had several similar instances when the employees are unhelpful. I work in customer service & it just makes me so mad that I bend over backwards to help my customers but that it is extremely difficult to get good service when I go somewhere. Like, when you ask their employees if there are any in back---they do not even check. They just say the do not. Or when you ask where something is and they say "If it's not over there I don't know where it is" . \n3) Lack of selection. In most cases they only carry one name brand & their housebrand & the namebrand carried is not the one I use.\n4) Some items (especially the clothes) are low quality. We used to call them "Wal-Mart-fall-a-parts growing up.\n5) I can almost always find stuff cheaper somewhere else. I do not know why everyone thinks they are so cheap!\n\n(Sorry for any typos, spell check was not working.)

Not a Walmart greeter cause you have to have a little personality for that and you have to like children ( NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ) Maybe a space Ranger cause they are way out there, SOMEWHERE, JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE !

Yes, they did do away with it.  What's race got to do with it?  Everyone in this area shops at Walmart... and we are a very integrated area because of a large military base.  I never thought of any racial issues to do with Walmart or their lay-a-way program.\n\nSue
