the Walmart Greeter

[BigusDicus 9,827]

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?'"
