As the economy improves, more and more retail jobs are left for the dregs. It's a good sign, in a way. It was VERY noticable during the dot-com boom.
As for Wal-Mart, just don't go. I only go when there's something they have I've found nowhere else (frigging Target can't keep shaver blades stocked). And yes, their greeters are there to deter shoplifting; that IS their real purpose and always has been.
