Walmart's phase-out of store greeters threatens disabled staff
New York - Walmart is in damage-control mode over a plan to phase out store greeters, a shift that closes off an employment niche that had frequently been taken by disabled workers.
The new role requires"the ability to stand for long periods of time, lift 25-pound parcels, check receipts, write reports and help with product loss investigations," said an online petition. On Thursday, Walmart Marion announced that Melton had accepted a new position as"Self-Checkout Host."
