“Walmart has a 10’ rule. If a customer comes within 10’ of an associate, the associate is supposed to ask the customer needs assistance.”
Bwahahahah! Good one! Maybe a decade ago. Now, they’re eyes down and truckin’ on down the aisle.
Walmart has real management and sales associate issues, broad spectrum. Sam’s soul is long gone from his baby.
It varies. I’ve been in Walmarts in the four states recently. In some you get asked repeatedly if you need help. In others not so much. I always thank associates. Hopefully I’m reinforcing good behavior. Maybe I should give out candy.
