Today's 80 is yesterday's 90......trending Seniors are getting younger. While 50 something's are acting older. Looking older, feeling older......Could it be they are killing themselves trying to crawl their way to retirement? I don't think a lot of them will make it to 75.

I have not seen a "greeter" at the 2 Walmarts in my area for the last decade.
I assumed the position was eliminated.

I don't think they got paid anyway , just all the generics they could swallow.

Keep on making fun of the elderly. It's quite becoming.

Getting old sucks but it beats the alternative.

Me too. Maybe they'll determine that services to your area are unprofitable and they'll cut you off.

You can see that disdain clearly expressed by our elitist liberal friends on this thread.

Please tell me why a can of Libby's Green Beans is of lower quality simply because it is sold at Wal-Mart.
What if I don't want anything for sale at Walmart in the first place? Apparently I'm some kind of chump for not buying what is fed to me by Walmart. Your disdain for people that don't want what's for sale in big box retail is astonishing.

The Wal-Mart You Don't Know | Fast Company | Business + Innovation
It could be like back in the days when where you lived was a "company Town" , Sawmill town , coal Town , everything owned by the place you were forced to work. They even had their own form of money , ....Walmart has already been talking about that , issuing " Walmart Bucks ".They want to create WallMart Bank , not sure where that is right now. Then there is insurance, now health care talk . If people like to be apart of one Company run economy and are happy with that , well so be it I guess ? They have already started down this road , with propaganda sheets handed out about how the workers can live on a lower income .
