skippin' my lunch break
fun job for god's sake
hordes of them shoppers...enter in coils
open, the door swings
inside, the folks spring
on, they inch...the carpet, they soil
wastin' my day again in walmartgreeterville
tellin' all "hi"...as past, they assault
amity claimed...although i don't know their names
but i glow...when its near me, they vault
yeah, i know the reason
its discounts, they're seizin'
don't need "hello"...but its just what i do
this job's a beauty
i fulfill my duty
when they arrive...i know its my cue
wastin' my day again in walmartgreeterville
cruisin' past me...at the wheels of a cart
i'll get no fame...but i don't feel its a shame
in they slink...and i hail as they dart
they ask, "where's the pop tarts?"
and if we have truck parts
hope they feel...i can tell where to roam
if she asks for blenders
i know where to send her
they need my directions...to make it like home
wastin' my day again in walmartgreeterville
even though some...will tease me or taunt
badge shows my name...so they will know who to blame
there they go...its my store, they haunt

Nicely done. Good take on something we don't normally think about.
As you probably remember, I too wrote a parody about Wal-Mart greeters, but it detailed how annoying they are and not how their workday is like you did. Great job, and I would honestly work in a coal mine than as a Wal-Mart greeter.
I applied to Wal-Mart last month, but didn't hear from them for awhile. Anyways, I'd rather shop than work at Wal-Mart! Also nice to see you writing again! So how are things going at driving school? Good? Anyways, here's 5's on this parody!
Biggest laugh of the day! Great title on this one.
Hey there Sir Alvin, ~The Mighty Duke oDice & Roads~ nice write, haven't seen a WalMart for a few days . . . just returned to ~SiliconValley~ from a lonnng Road Trip !
good job, alvin
The title alone is a hoot.
Down here is South Texas the locals just call the place "Wally Martinez" - This is no joke. Attention WalMart shoppers - greeter Alvin Rhodes just got a 5 cent pay hike for being very greety. Keep it up Alvin and you may yet make that ever so coveted employee of the month with your smiling mug shot and all. Great write. Nice to see you on board here today.
I'm sort of a Kmart fan..but this is a really good parody..unique topic and most creative title..
Alvin... helping us all to "Live Better"-- one parody at a time! And agree with 2Eagle: Title switch alone is worth 5s!
Great song, there are some days when I feel like smacking them in the face, but the theme of a Jimmy Buffett song makes things peaceful again!!! Fives...
Prices are falling but not your score. High fives all around.
No one should discount this parody. Love the title sub.
thanks patrick...thanks andria..i remember that parody...i'd have to choose walmart over a coal mine though...i'm claustrophobic...thanks christie..yeah, me too...the driving school thing is keeping me awfully busy these days...its why i haven't been around much lately..thanks timmy...thanks DLV...thanks adagio...thanks 2eagle...thanks guy...lol @ wally martinez...thanks AFW...thanks fiddlegirl...thanks mark...indeed...thanks metaphorsbwithu...thanks rex
