[Logic n' Reason]

". . .Walmart has prided itself on hiring older citizens to be “greeters”.
The main reason is that older Americans still know civility, and how to be polite.
They are honored to be able to work, despite minimum wages.

I don't know if "civility" is the main reason Wally World hires them, but it certainly is one of them.
They are also hired because they have a strong inbred "work ethic", arrive at work on time...work the assigned hours....don't much care about a little overtime now and then, respect customers, are polite (civil, if you will), and don't whine constantly about the workplace or work environment.

And for this, I say: Good on ya, Wally World!

“And for this, I say: Good on ya, Wally World! “

I have always had a good respect for Walmart and their model.
I remember the first Walmart in the Memphis area, and in the 70s I was a manufacture’s rep with Arkansas as part of my territory, and with Walmart headquarters in Bentonville, as a client. They were big then, but still a fraction of what they are today.
I remember the days when they would not open a store in a large city.

I know that there are plenty of snotty nosed FReepers that detest Walmart, but you would be hard pressed to find a better business model that Sam Walton put together.
