It's coming to this:
Wal-Mart Greeter Fired for Saucy Pic 
Friday, January 07, 2005
 
MUSCATINE, Iowa ? A Wal-Mart (search) greeter was sacked for
apparently showing too much of his friendly side to customers.

Dean L. Wooten, 65, was accused of greeting customers with a
computer-generated photo of himself in which he appeared to be naked ?
except for a carefully placed Wal-Mart bag ? and of telling customers
that Wal-Mart was cutting costs and the sack was the company's new
uniform.

A supervisor at the Muscatine store where Wooten had worked for seven
years told him to knock it off after customers complained. He was
fired five days later, in September, after he displayed the photo
again.

Wooten's application for unemployment compensation was rejected by an
administrative law judge, who said "a reasonable person would know the
act of showing a naked body wearing a Wal-Mart sack would not be good
for the employer's business."

Wooten said he did not see the harm in the photo, which he said was
made by a friend who spliced a picture of Wooten's head onto a shot of
another man's body.

"When I first seen it, I pretty near died laughing," he said.
