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. Supporters of Jay Melton, a Walmart greeter in Marion, North Carolina, who has cerebral palsy, took to the Internet to protest the change. 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.
