A beloved, longtime Walmart greeter with cerebral palsy met with store management in Pennsylvania on Feb. 22, in a bid to keep his job but came away with no guarantees, and his family is girding for a fight.
Adam Catlin, who uses a walker and is legally blind, is worried he’ll be out of work after store management told him he would need to be able to lift heavy weights, read receipts and perform other tasks. The retailer has been replacing “people greeters” with “customer hosts” who are responsible for helping with returns, checking receipts to help prevent shoplifting, and keeping the front of the store clean.
