An 84-year-old McDonald's employee is retiring after 45 years

84-year-old woman retired from her position at a McDonald's located in Gibsonia, Pennsylvania. She began working there as a single mom in 1978 before Chicken McNuggets were released. She said she 'deserved a well-deserved break' after 45 years of work.

Paul Hendel started working at the McDonald's in Merrick, New York in 1973 when he was just 16 years old. The gig paid $1.85 an hour. ‘I never thought it would be my forever job’ said the 66-year-old.
