As a stock holder, I welcome this. I have been in Walmart and see them standing around talking. Half the time they don’t even see people walking by them as they are so into their conversation. Thank you Walmart for being smart and saving money on these useless positions.
When my kids were babies - toddlers I was very watchful, but they can be VERY slippery. I always knew that if some kidnapper were to try to snatch them they'd have to get past the greeter at the door, and Target et al didn't have them. I shopped at Walmart EXCLUSIVELY for many years for that reason only.
