I know that others know how to access prices...but when I see that
they have gone up or down quickly, timing can be everything!

Does this mean that I'm going to have to go back to my job as greeter at
Walmart?

There are few things more embarassing than having been laid off as a WalMart
greeter.
Mr. Jaggers
They told me it had something to do with my inability to be cheerful. Wait,
the guy who replaced me has the same problem, but even worse. Must have
been something else then.

I could never figure out whether they were supposed to greet you going in or
coming out. Or coming in or going out.

Going in. I've heard that it significanly reduces shoplifting.
Because when someone has seen your face, and engages you while
entering the store, that the casual shoplifter is less likely to
steal. OTOH the pros probably could care less.
Mr. Jaggers
They also put a sticker on anything you are carrying in for refund,
exchange, or adjustment.

Going out is when you will encounter the angry black woman who will take out her
hatred of the entire white race on you while microscopically examining your
sales receipt, lest you be tempted to steal a stick of chewing gum!

Are you sure that's a "greeter"? Don't they just get one shot at you on
the way in? But then they seem to have the same two-way surveillance at
Costco, too.
Mr. Jaggers
This practice has been around for a long time, and in many locations. I
experienced it at Cracker Barrel this past week. The greater the
merchandise "shrinkage" potential, the more likely you are to be "welcomed"
by store staff. It has nothing to do with how happy they are to see you,
although some businesses make a greater effort than others to make it appear
that way. CB is one of the better ones.

Wow! I frequently encounter a "welcomer" at my local BofA. A bit awkward
and irritating, but I suppose she/he is checking to see if I'm wearing a ski
mask in August or if I ask to compose a note at the desk before approaching
a teller window. Or if all I want is to score a role of those new pennies.
I've never noticed a greeter at Cracker Barrel. Maybe that's their
strategy. I might have expected it back when they were selling the latest
Beanie Babies, but not when most customers simply want a chicken fried
country gravy steak and one of them yummy orange creamsicle drinks.
Mr. Jaggers
For the record, the person who welcomed me was not an official greeter, but
someone who was there to stock merchandise, at least I think that's why our
paths crossed. I got the impression that she had been instructed to do that
whenever she had the chance. But I could be wong, she might just have been
a naturally friendly person.

Now you seem to be the one who never tires of being wrong. I also
reported it when prices went up. Perhaps you are a troll? No, I have
seen enough of you to know that you are. As much as I would love a
battle of wits with you, you seem to have come unarmed.

Hurray! I finally made RF's killfile! The only problem is, it will
disappear the next time he nym shifts. Or, more likely, he really
hasn't plonked me and is reading this now. Tee hee. In the words of
