MARION, N.C. — The Walmart greeter who was afraid of losing his job after company officials decided to get rid of greeters and replace them with “customer hosts” now has a new job in the company.
Jay Melton has worked at Walmart for 17 years, but recently went to Facebook to share his fears after the company added new duties that would be difficult for him to perform, McDowell News reported.
Melton has cerebral palsy and cannot do the heavy lifting and standing that was required for the new jobs, WYFF reported.
Last week, Walmart told greeters at 1,000 stores that their jobs were being done away with and would be replaced with the customer host job that would require them not to only greet customers as they came into the store, but also help with returns, check receipts and keep the front of the store clean. They were also told they would have to lift heavy weights and climb ladders, The Associated Press reported.
