I like this idea... as I said in my opening statement... i'm all for people having a job.... pick up a broom... put the hardware back in the right places ( seeing someone else just laid it in the next bin when they reaized they had the wrong thing) there is plenty of work to go around.. if.. people want to work.. one person at the door saying "good morning " is enough.. those that know me, know I'm not a grouch and am a reasonable man... but everyone has a breaking point... and when I see that many people doing nothing but aggrivating customers.. it irks me... BTW... i went in and out of there yesterday with out incident ( I had to buy a kitchen faucet) i was even nice and OVERLY polite to the greeter

To add to Beamie's idea, give a copy of your list to a couple of these "floating" greeters, and tell them that whoever is faster wins the "HD scavenger hunt". That way you can put them to work even if they don't win!
