2 . Large stores are doing a lot of different things to try to attract more shoppers. Many of them now have greeters who stand near the door. The greeters' job is to say hello to the shoppers and make them feel at home. They also help people find what they are looking for and answer any other question. College students often take jobs as greeters. Greeters don't get paid very well, but they don't need to spend much time on the job. They have the time to do other things like study.

Discount programs are also a way to attract shoppers. Some stores give discounts if a shopper spends a certain amount of money. For example, the shopper may get 20 percent off on the first $100 he or she spends. When the shopper spends over $ 100, the discount may reach 25 percent. This encourages shoppers to spend more money at this store.
