interesting. as an american, I have just about the opposite impression of mainstream american businesses. most retail stores seem have the bare minimum number of employees to ring up customers and stock the shelves. and grocery stores are trying to eliminate the cashiers. the exceptions tend to be higher end stores or, for some reason, clothing stores. I can barely walk five feet into a gap without someone trying to help me shop. I only see valets at nice restaurants or garages that are too tight to allow customers to park their own cars. the walmart greeter is an odd exception. why do they pay someone to stand at the door and say hello but have almost no one out on the floor to help me find things I want to buy?
