His wife calls him "Old McDonald."
At age 88, Bill Dudley of North Wales in
the UK is perhaps McDonald's oldest
employee in the world -- and he intends to
keep it that way. “I’ll carry on until I
drop," he told News North Wales.
Dudley, a great grandfather and World
War II veteran, doesn't let a pacemaker,
angina and replacement knee keep him
from greeting customers and wiping
tables twice a week for six hours, the
Sun reported.
One reason he has kept coming back for
the last seven years is the camaraderie
with fellow employees, he told News
North Wales. "We are like a family and I
am like their father," he explained.
In a 2010 profile in the Daily Mail,
Dudley said staying at home was boring --
he neither drank nor gardened.
Besides, he said, he enjoyed the work. "I
just like the job," he said to the tabloid.
"I like talking to people and meeting
people."
A McDonald's spokeswoman couldn't
confirm whether Dudley was the Golden
Arches' most senior worker.
"Our workforce is diverse and comprises
full and part time employees, students
and seniors, among others," she wrote to
The Huffington Post. "We pride ourselves
on providing employment opportunities for
everyone."
