BLUE RIDGE, Ga. - Walmart officials told a greeter at their Blue Ridge store Thursday he can continue to tell customers “Have a blessed day,” one day after a store manager told him to stop doing so.

The statement by Walmart comes after family members and friends contacted FOX 5 via e-mail and social media and expressed outrage over the store's decision.
Employee James Phillips said he is grateful for his job at Walmart but was concerned by the request from hismanagement.
Phillips told FOX 5's Chris Shaw, “Many people come to this store and tell me how glad they are that I say that.”
Phillips added that customers told him “they just don't hear that in stores anymore.”
In a statement sent to FOX 5 Thursday afternoon, the company stated, "The manager's intention was to share a customer's concern. We greatly value our associate and appreciate his work for our company and he is welcome to continue sharing his greeting with our customers."
When asked if Phillips was specifically told to quit saying this, a Walmart spokesman wrote, “Yes and that was not correct guidance because it doesn't reflect any Walmart policy.”
The controversy sparked an online firestorm, with hundreds of comments and shares in support of Phillips' posted on the FOX 5 Facebook page.
