Walmart Greeter

Charley, a new retiree greeter at Wal-Mart, 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; you¢re 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?'"
