They can and do run their business how they see fit, but seeing as this is America and I have freedom of speech, I also have the right to despise them for it and let people know they are the sleaziest corporation in the country.

Putting your life at risk is a stretch... it's one day a year this craze happens and how many Wal-Marts are around nation-wide? 1 out of how many employees were killed? Sounds like a freak accident more than a life threatening job.

I wouldn't say greeting people at Wal Mart is a life threatening job in general, but this guy died doing it so his life was clearly at risk. It could have been prevented had the store taken measures to organize and control the crowd outside the store.

My wife's friend was hit by a forklift at Lowes, does that mean working at or shopping at Lowes is life threatening?

Sure, working with forklifts or any heavy machinery can be life threatening. And I'm sure people working with heavy machinery at Lowe's are getting paid more than front door greeters at WalMart to compensate for the danger.
