Wal-Mart 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 
up 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?'"
