And to probably better jobs than just standing around watching people going in and out and occasionally pushing a shopping cart out of the way.

I wouldn't be surprised if the new jobs also came with a raise - although since we're talking about WalMart, maybe not.

There aren't any.

But because someone said it, and it's a negative against Obama, there will be the usual crowd here who will continue to ignore all the FACTS and who will be completely and thoroughly convinced that Obama put some WalMart greeters out of work.

It's a derangement thing.

You just responded now but only to me? I am at work myself. Dual monitors make it easy to post.

None. That's why the OP vanished and is not trying to defend his/herself but will only reply to me saying that they work so they cannot post all of the time.

OMG! I'm stuck using "bottom of the barrel" toilet paper now! It's all Obama's fault! Let's pin everything we can on Obama! .. Some of the "blame stuff" seems "way out there" at times...I'm not an "Obama supporter" or a "Romney supporter." I'm not a "Wal-Mart lover" either but it's sad if they are laying people off...These are "bad times." I just learned that BP is going to close 52 "Arco" gas stations and convenience stores in CA...I feel sad for all the employees who will be laid-off. But I'm not going to go on a "blame Obama" crusade about it.

I was told they no longer have the greaters....that means on both sides they are gone and the one at the garden entrance is gone...meaning 3 jobs killed!

Recently I heard on the radio and tv that Walmart with their clientele can't increase the prices so much to compensate for the high gas prices, so they have to take other measurements to stay profitable...

Obama just killed 3 jobs per store, that is hundreds of jobs Nation wide.

Lowes and Kohls stopped with employers discount, and that means that later on the only cut there is will be to cut jobs!

Obama has so much fun going on the late night shows, singing and going to a University to get the crowd in his favor talking about his student loan debt...

Why didn't Obama mention how great it was to even be accepted into Harvard and his wife in Princeton...my child wasn't and so many others can't even get in and if they get in can they afford it...well he could and he hardly worked as a lawyer after graduating and than to come up with that bs story like we will fall over no believe a word he says.

I'm sorry to see the greeters go and lose their job they seem to enjoyed what they were doing, but I understand that Walmart has to look at the balance sheet.
They are going to end up with more theft because it is easy to take something up to customer service from inside the store and say you're bringing it back. Unless WM enforces a receipt policy you are going to see lots of nervy people trying to "return" stuff they never paid for.

On the other hand, the greeters were, generally worthless. I bet that less than 10 percent of the time I was actually ever GREETED by one. Usually they were surly and just shoved the shopping cart in front of you without so much as a "hello". So I really am not going to miss them. LOL

It is a beautiful day here. Obama had nothing to do with it, but if it rains this afternoon, it will certainly be his fault.
