Walmart Greeter



Charley, a new retiree greeter at Walmart, just

couldn't seem to get to work on time. Every day he was

5, 10, sometimes 15 minutes late. But he was a good

worker, really tidy, clean shaven, sharp minded and a

real credit to the company and obviously demonstrating

their "Older Person Friendly" policies.



One day the boss was in a real quandary about how to

deal with it. Finally, he called him into the office

for a talk. "Charley, I have to tell you, I like your

work ethic, you do a bang on job, but your being late

so often is quite bothersome."



"Yes, I know boss, and I am working on it."



"Well good, you are a team player. That's what I like

to hear. It's odd though, your coming in late. I know

you're retired from the Armed Forces. What did they

say if you came in late there?"



"They said, 'Good morning, General. Tea or coffee this

morning, sir?'"
