Try acting like a total dick to the customers. Most greeters try so hard to be nice and make sure you didnt steal anything, so flip the game on them.

Roast everyone, unless they could kick your butt.

Um, that wouldn't be good customer service, sir.

I'm going to be totally pleasant. And I've heard that you can get good intel being a Walmart Greeter. I will share with the class.

Re: I'm Thinking About Becoming a Walmart Greeter. Any Tips?
I can't work in the shop anymore after mom punched me, so I'm going to consider another line of work now.

Think about how fun it would be, to just stand there and greet people all day.

Oh sure, you'd have to deal with the occasional shop lifter, well really, you wouldn't....you'd probably be instructed to just let them go anyway. And then you could get back to your sunny disposition of making shoppers feel welcome.
 Quoting: Ginseng


The good news for you is that when Walmart turns you down because you lack enough qualifications to be a “greeter,” the TSA will immediately hire you to grope passengers at TSA checkpoints.

Eww, I don't want to grope people's junk!

By the way, I had a six figure career before covid. Pretty sure somebody will hire me.

Here's an interesting thing about corporations in general...they will require their high paid professionals to get the death jab...but not the minimum wage workers.

They figured out that the min wage workers wouldn't put up with that. But the executives would...

So no. Walmart "clerks" of floor people or whatever are not required to get the jab. The executives ARE required to get the jab. And they do it, because they have more to lose.

Don’t do it......ever don’t ever sell yourself for 15 bucks an hour unless you really love what your doing it is a soul crushing dead end, the flip side is this, with mindless work comes great power as you enter the realization that ten buck an hour jobs are everywhere and your employer realizes he is only worth 10 bucks an hour to you ,

Why did your mom punch you?
 Quoting: PSA


Because she was mad that I was having a drink an hour before closing.

I'm a middle aged woman, who, due to the scamdemic...I've lost my lucrative career, I came home to help with my elderly parents and their stupid shop....and she wants to give me shit about not being "professional".

Well, they can't even replace me (it's an odd situation here).

I'm going to have to stay here and take care of them. I don't know what their problem is...OMG, you can't have a glass of wine an hour before you close the stupid tourist shop?

$17/hr to wear the stupid blue vest and say "Hi, Welcome to Walmart".

And when the George Floyd people dash out with a cart of stuff, you don't have to do a thing.

Re: I'm Thinking About Becoming a Walmart Greeter. Any Tips?
You can do it, OP!

You can absolutely be a greeter.

Don't take no for an answer.

Heck, don't even ask for an answer.

Just skip the interview and hiring process altogether.

Go there and stand in the doorway.

Say "howdy" to everyone that comes in the door.

Say "y'all come back now!" to everyone leaving.

And, check about every 10th shopper's bag and receipt.

"Can I take a quick look at your receipt?"

"Can you show me what's in the bag?"

Of course, you won't get a paycheck.

But, if you consider the pay if you really were an employee...

You really wouldn't see much of a difference either way.

Start your own business instead.
You can flip riding lawnmowers if you learn small engine repair which any brainlet can learn.

While making money with that, join a painting crew. After 6 months of learning, quit and start your own business




Epoxy flooring is pretty lucrative as well, so I've heard.

Fuck, anything other than a job. You need a business in this shitty economy not a job. Even if it's waxing fat asses, or walking dogs.

Re: I'm Thinking About Becoming a Walmart Greeter. Any Tips?
Your job is really just to make sure the cashier got the stuff that's under the cart (which will be nothing in a lot of cases).

And to hand out those motorized scooters which you also plug in when they're returned. You can get away with just doing this part.

There are actual cops in Walmart. If anyone is going to do anything about shoplifting, it's them.
