Greeter

A Walmart greeter is an employee whose role is to wait at the front door of a Walmart store and greet all shoppers who enter.[1] CEO and founder Sam Walton implemented the role nationally in the 1980s.[1] The position is considered to be a big part of the company's identity and culture,[2] as well as one of its most recognized hallmarks.[3]

A Walmart greeter stands at the door. The greeter's primary task is to cross-check customers' receipts when they leave, as well as to provide a sunny disposition to welcome customers.[4]
