All corporate companies are made up of docile imbeciles with dormant brains who can't think for themselves. That's why they do what they do. This guy should stay here until the police arrive if only to expose how some humans resort to base animal instinct and attack the moment they face a situation they don't understand.
Liability. it doesn't matter if it benifits them or not, Troy is not hired from the company and that could open them up to legal actions because they didn't prevent him from doing something. Nothing stops troy from looking like he is friendly while employees are around and when they turn their backs he could be spreading rumors and shit. So they don't allow anyone regardless of good or bad intentions.
@@kerozen1909 there’s very little they can do if he decided to stay though. I doubt the police would get involved. “There’s a man outside our store greeting our customers, please come quick as you can. We haven’t seen or heard him do anything illegal, but he might be doing it when we aren’t watching him”…
It's the Jan Molby reference that kills me every single time. A Danish Liverpool player from the 80s lobbed casually in as the executive manager who hired him. God, it's just set me off again... 😂😂😂
I've significantly increased the number of my weekly shopping trips, in hope of having the honour of being greeted by the guild. Also, give Jan Molby a rise!
I like how, right in front of the employees' faces, he's greeting people and they are clearly appreciative of it, yet the employees still tell him to move along lol
These companies should be grateful of someone like you advertising there business for free. If i was to walk in a shop and see you outside that would make my day and I would be a happy shopper which would make me feel good and probably spend more.
Just discovered this masterpiece of a channel. You should do weddings. I'm getting married in three months and would pay top sterling to have you welcoming guests!
I think, especially for the elderly, you’re a great addition to any store front! You possibly could remind them of how gentlemen used to speak a long time ago and get them reminiscing of accents they haven’t heard since a young child perhaps.
@@foreverred105 thank you! It’s the first thing I noticed about him, I showed my grandmother some of Troy’s greeting videos and she hasn’t smiled like that for a while :)
Well my grandparents(R. I. P.) would have certainly enjoyed that, they were regularly complaining about the shopping experiences being really cold and unpersonal nowadays.
it certainly is a fair cry from the dull flat tones, passive aggression, delayed responses, poker faces etc..one encounters in almost all stores. And that's just the customers!
Jan Molby...the big Dane in our old midfield engine room is keeping Waitrose going I see! Jan and yourself are both honourary Scousers of course Troy. Sir Purple of Aki has bestowed this honour to you.
It's farcical that John Lewis Partnership spends millions on Christmas Ads that promote making people smile, yet they shun you doing it at ground level for nothing! Crazy. You are an inspiration Troy ❤❤
If I was the manager, I would thank him and kindly offer him some refreshments and let him know that he's welcome to do it again anytime. It's absurd that you wouldn't want that kind of expensive service for free.
cannot believe these companies move you on you are truly a breath of fresh air it is not the customers who complaing it is the jobs worths of this world if you was a begger they would not do anything to move you on.
Troy outside the store for an hour would bring more into your business I imagine ? Hysterical how he continues to greet when the management are trying to move him on 😂😂
I would love to be greeted by someone like Troy just before entering a store. It would brighten up anyone's day...those Waitrose staff members couldn't recognize the value that was being added to the supermarket..👍
Having worked in middle management I can tell you this is more about egos and power trips. Did you hear the faux authority in her voice? She's mad at the world and wants it to conform to her will.
This is hilarious 😂. Even theses days when you are gentleman clearly welcoming those shopping to brighten up their shopping day, you get moved on as if you are a common thug harassing little old ladies.
Would love if he’d said to them at the end, may I say how incredibly uniformed and connected you all look with your earpiece ,microphone headsets.. like a Steps tribute band just bursting to be discovered 😂😂
What are the odds we can get you to stand post at number 10? If anywhere could use a change in the mute balance in a post pandemic era… that’s the place. Love from 🇺🇸
What a bunch of absolute jobsworth’s those Waitrose employees are. My god, they could suck all the joy out of the room if you weren’t in it as well Troy!
If anything this exercise just exposes the ineptitude of management to handle a situation like this appropriately. 5 staff members plus a burly security guard march out to confront a man greeting customers. That’s a huge over reaction and completely disproportionate to the situation at hand. It just paints the company in such a poor light, is it really that serious?
I work in a charity shop in Lincoln and we'd love to have you greet for us! Help us raise some money on the highstreet 😁 No one ever comes to Lincoln either so you'd be doing the whole city a great service!
I might get in trouble for this but i work for waitrose and would love the guild at our store and in fact i have taken some of how he greets and acknowledges the customers in to my daily routine and have found how much they appreciate it more and enjoy the experience
It's so sad that people don't appreciate good open and free kindness. The people who came out to move you on are clearly not happy in their own lives. How sad. Troy you keep smashing it 😊
I don’t understand these stores always seem to move Troy on but yet “homeless” beggars sat on the floor asking for money from their customers don’t get bothered!
I have tweeted my indignation to Waitrose because of their mob-handed approach to your ejection. How very rude! I shall no longer purchase their potted shrimps.
Swear to God he's not doing anything wrong or illegal so why not just leave Troy alone because he's making the customers experience better while they shop
Oh dear Lord where’s everyone’s sense of humour disappeared to? Even brought out security to intimidate him away. OTT Waitrose, take the stick out of your collective backsides for goodness sake! Shopping is depressing at the best of times, and Troy would certainly brighten my usually dull experience and encourage me to shop there. Long may you continue to greet Troy!
Every town Every High St Every Shop NEEDS someone from The Greeters Guild … If I were a shop manager , I would be Delighted to have such a wonderful customer welcome ….. Looks like Head Office have their heads up their own asses
He’s so polite and pleasant and the costumers seem really happy and probably made there day..Even the security guard seems bemused why he’s being asked to move him away from the shop 😂
Do they not understand the honour of having the Greeters Guild at their entrance, shoulders back and head high Troy don't let them drag you down.
I would defo be honoured to have troy there
@@dtoora 100%
He doesn't look like a man of compromise, I'd wager that they don't have any prisoner accommodation at Greeters Guild HQ.
Miserable bunch of snobs 😡The man’s hilarious 😂 I would shop at Waitrose just to meet him 👍
Couldn’t agree more. It’s utterly baffling.
My favourite part is always when they come out to move him on, and he keeps greeting people.
A righteous man shall not be taken from the lords work.
They would normally experience someone’s fear when they surround them but it wasn’t working, and they didn’t know how to act.
A greeter part of the Greeters Guild never stops greeting

@@mat900ft Its harassments., they can definitely do it its probably just not high priority for police to enforme if they get the call
These shops are missing a trick. Anyone who makes people feel good about themselves are worth their weight in gold
A case in point how out of touch large corporations are. They should be honored to have The Greeters Guild.

why don't you say your area? (don't have to say location) you never know, he might think about visiting that area one day after reading your comment!
"Big shop? Little shop?....Cardboard box." - absolutely majestic! And the Imperial March as the staff are walking out?! *Chef's kiss* 💋
I like how, right in front of the employees' faces, he's greeting people and they are clearly appreciative of it, yet the employees still tell him to move along lol
Glorious. LOVED the Imperial March as the Waitrose team stormed in 😂
1:35 the music is perfect I’m literally crying from laughing.

Can’t have somebody at the door greeting people politely after all. They might smile 😳

always a joy to have Troy still greet and bring joy to shoppers while management try to remove him from the entrance 😂❤
Go on Troy, shoulders back have at the world🎉
It's absolutely crazy. He's nothing but nice to people & they bring in a "Heavy" to move him on 🤣.
Jan Molby...the big Dane in our old midfield engine room is keeping Waitrose going I see! Jan and yourself are both honourary Scousers of course Troy. Sir Purple of Aki has bestowed this honour to you.

They did...someone came out but then just said, 'Oh OK carry on'! czcams.com/video/hYswx1FAz2I/video.html&ab_channel=TroyHawke
If anyone among the viewers live by this Waitrose store, I'd recommend they go there and ask what happened to the greeter's guild.
Loved the Jan Molby reference.😀
god these people are so miserable i would love to see him at my local tesco put a smile on my face it would make my day
I love how they brought out security... Troy looks very menacing in his smokers jacket obviously
This is hilarious 😂. Even theses days when you are gentleman clearly welcoming those shopping to brighten up their shopping day, you get moved on as if you are a common thug harassing little old ladies.
It's incredible how angry the staff get at Troy. It looks like most of the customers love it
These videos will never get old
a perfect charm in an all but dull world.
Would love if he’d said to them at the end, may I say how incredibly uniformed and connected you all look with your earpiece ,microphone headsets.. like a Steps tribute band just bursting to be discovered 😂😂
I see they brought big Steve with them, I’m sure his services won’t be necessary.

@@burlatsdemontaigne6147 But isn't Waitrose fairly high end? It's not Lidl is it?

I’m actually starting to get little butterflies whenever I go the shops these days , hoping the Greeters Guild has sent Troy to south Liverpool .
Love how you still greet the customers when security & management try to move you on 🤣🤣
Always a pleasure, never a chore 🧐
Have at them Troy. Loving the Big Jan reference.
Imagine existing as a business in 2023 and not comprehending that having this handsome chap welcoming people for a funny video isn't a bad thing.

Troy, you continue to absolutely smash this. What has Jan Molby said? Surely he should be paying you a commission!
The absolute genius of it ...... and the absolute Idiocy of " no go away" ....
Troy........the Spar ...Colyton, Devon.....make it quick we need you urgently.
"Thank you for working at Waitrose" 🤣😂🤣
They don’t seem to have grasped the fact that thousands of people across the nation have PAID to see Mr Troyington Hawkmeister 😂
It would make my day if I were greeted like this, this man is doing some good work!
The Force awakens !!!
All major stores had this years ago , , I think Asda were the last to have them at the entrance with a big badge on saying greeter 👍
The Deathmarch and sound effect on the door was priceless
The laugh at the end was the icing on the cake ngl
I work in a charity shop in Lincoln and we'd love to have you greet for us! Help us raise some money on the highstreet 😁
No one ever comes to Lincoln either so you'd be doing the whole city a great service!

Fantastic as always Troy, all the best mate
