I was just curious, to me a greeter meets you on the way in, but maybe
WalMart calls the people who check you on the way out greeters, too.

I certainly don't ever seem to hear anything about the store that would
entice me to walk into any of their stores. I understand that, in some
places, there is no choice, that's a shame.

My first experience with a greeter was not at a WalMart, it was some
other chain. I was walking in and some guy stopped me and told me
about some special. I was polite, I don't want anyone to think I said
anything to the guy, but my reaction was What, I have to talk to someone
just to get in the store? Get lost? Heh. My idea of personal service is
there is someone around to ask when I need them. Not at the door.
