Walmart Greeters

Walmart Greeters are a dying breed. They’ve been around since the late 80s, but with the rise of online shopping and automated checkouts, they’re becoming less and less necessary. These “greeters” are tasked with giving a friendly welcome to customers as they enter the store and engaging in some light chit chat while they wait in line. What a waste of time! Plus, they’re only employed part-time and don’t make very much money. According to Glassdoor, the average Walmart Greeter makes less than $10/hr. That’s not even enough for a box of mac and cheese! Here’s a fun fact: some Walmart Greeters have even been known to make up songs about the store and its products to pass the time. Talk about dedication!
