A late-to-work problem?

Charley, the 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.

He was 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 when you finally get here; 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.”

“Yes sir, I understand your concern and I’ll try harder.”

Seeming puzzled, the manager went on to comment, "It's odd, though, you're coming in late. I know you're retired from the Armed Forces. What did they say to you there if you showed up in the morning so late and so often?"

The old man looked down at the floor, smiled, chuckled quietly, then said with a grin ...

"They usually saluted and said, ‘Good morning, Admiral, can I get your coffee, Sir?’”

Pretty doubtful someone making over $90K in retirement would work part time for WalMart, but funny otherwise.
