Backlash After Walmart Tells Greeter To Stop Saying ‘Have A Blessed Day’
Some customer thought this was too religious, and complained. Walmart told the greeter to stop saying it. John Phillips never anticipated the backlash.
Even Phillips has expressed that he was quite surprised by the outpour of support. He recently shared his opinion of the community’s decision to stand behind him. While Philips told WSB-TV that he didn’t intend to start a movement, it appears he has. Once the situation was reported on the local news, many social media users also took to WREG’s Facebook page slamming Walmart and defending Phillips.
Please “like” us on Facebook, and have a blessed day. [su_center_ad]

Every day, usually several times a day someone blesses me. Yeah, it gets old but no ill intent or malice is intended, leave the old guy alone. Working as a greeter may have been all the social contact he gets.
