They're also calling them hosts, which is annoying, because they aren't anything like a host at a restaurant, because going shopping in a giant big box retailer isn't anything like dining at a sit-down restaurant. I can see why they would use an overblown title, because they call their employees associates to say that they consider them partners, when in reality there are over a million employees and there's no way they could all be partners.
- crooked-v 8y agoThey seem to be changing the positions from being generally at the door to instead being staff generally designated for welcoming but also helping people with requests, in which case 'host' makes sense as a distinction from other staff intended to focus on stocking, cleaning, checkout, etc.
