Just walk right past and say no thank you. They are trained not to argue with you. Doesn't stop some of them from trying. Keep walking. Hopefully, you haven't stolen anything and their loss prevention guy comes out and does a flying kick into your spine, paralyzing you, taking you away from your lucrative career and depriving your loved ones of your consortium and you get to sue them like Tracy Morgan.
I always just walk by. I'll walk around a line of people waiting because frankly I didn't go through the self-checkout to stand in a line. They usually don't even say anything but one time a (young) lady yelled "ok stealers!" at my partner and I. It was hilarious.
Once I pay for the stuff our interaction is over. I gathered everything up, I paid for it, I bagged it; our interaction is done. If you think I stole something call the cops.
"Greeter" is such a messed up job position. Like instead of paying your miserable workers a living wage and actually smile at work, it's cheaper for Walmart to just hire someone to stand right at the entrance giving a "happy" first impression.
