Walmart Greeter
email

Posted on 03/13/2010 8:29:51 PM PST by BulletBobCo

Charley, a new retiree greeter at Wal-Mart, just couldn't seem to get to work on time.

Every day he was 5, 10, 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 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, can I get you coffee, sir?'''

Seniors do a super job in stores like Walmart, Target, Macy’s, and even big grocery stores now

They show up

They work and have lifetime experience

They show up

They are polite and educated

They show up

They can speak English

They show up

They appreciate their jobs and the customers

and finally: They show up

With 6 people now chasing 1 job in Obama’s worsening Depression - I bet the youngsters and laid off others are finding it mucho tougher to push out Seniors - even in fast-food places

That is amazing. I wish my friend, Janette, was still alive. She was a nurse in WWII. They just gave out some local awards to women who had served in WWII.

They are catching illegals like crazy around here. It’s amazing how often now. Just thought of it from the ALIPAC thread.

When you retire you might look for something to occupy your time.

Oh sure...Very intelligent U.S. military generals, congressman, engineers, former CEO's, and retired airline pilots need something to occupy their time. Of course, for some, being a Walmart employee would certainly fit the bill.

I only have one question for ya Bill.

Ya think anyone here believes this?

Blonde pushes her car into the repair shop tells the mechanic it won’t run...... After a few minutes the mechanic fixes it and it’s running fine and the blonde says so what’s the deal ?

Mechanic responds ....just crap in the carburetor .

Blonde thinks for a minute and says ....how often do I have to do that ?

I’ve noticed the last couple of years that the greeters no longer greet, but chit-chat with other employees.

Absolutly not, most Generals suck off their contacts and continue on the Government tit.

As a retired Engineering Manager, Wally World would be a relief, I am old, single, and don’t need the money, I got enough already. I think that a discount on purchases might be nice.

What was the answer? I need to know if I ever have problems with my carburetor. ;-)

Your joke reminds me of a Democrat state governor, Orval Faubus, who came out second-best in a historic contest with a retired five-star and, after encountering financial difficulties in retirement, ended up working as a bank teller.

Awards to WWII WASPS I believe - I could be wrong

-

Catching illegals bigtime in South Texas now!

Obama must figure he cannot get by with the softie stuff on illegals like George W Bush did

Obama figures he has the hispanic La Raza / MEchA vote locked up and needs to make democrats feel safer in areas with lots of illegals still taking jobs of the many more now laid-off honest American workers

Obama’s problems will be increasingly mucho worso in CA and FL where blacks are getting more in conflict with hispanics - esp. illegal aliens that contribute greatly to the 50% plus unemployment rates of urban - and now even rural blacks

Obama had and still has a solid 97% of the black vote in his back pocket -

Can he afford to now lose some pecentage of American hispanic voters - with the young and the independent voters who voted for him in 2008 now turning 66% against him? I do not see that situation improving as more HS and college grads find no jobs available - and middle class workers wise up as their unemployment bennies and savings run out and they start going to Food Banks - to stand in long lines behind blacks and hispanics?

Is a puzzlement.....
