My grandpa phd in entomology worked most of his life for WHO working with mosquito's and mosquito born diseases like malaria, unarguably more important then a McDonald's worker but guess who gets famous online for work, a mcdonalds worker, can anyone explain.
It is not a degree that makes a person important. Jesus died for all people and loves all equally. He does not measure success by the world's standards.
I went to a Taco Bell and saw that they were having a party. I was told that a young manager got her own store to manage. I agree with you! They can have their franchises who never worked with the company and they can have their dedicated employee who has. It is not like as if technically the main company won't still own the restaurant.
It’s just like any United States corporation. Anyone above local management sneers at those below them saying the employees should pay them for the privilege of working there. Be happy we pay you at all.

She's a McBoomer now. 😂 In all seriousness, it's impressive that she's stuck around for McDonalds for so long and still having her sanity from god knows what kind of crazy customers she's had. Congrats to you, Barbara!
I work in food service myself, but I would never imagine working that many decades in the industry. God bless her for being committed to the job, but it's not something I'd want to do the rest of my life.
A McLegend indeed! °○° It's good to know she made an impact to those around her. Hopefully they named a food item after her at some point, with the nickname given of course.
I live in fort Pierce Florida and I can assure you they did not name a food item after Barbara. It would be nice if the owner would name a food item after her since this is her 53rd year anniversary. However, usually employers do not do such things for their employees.
There is an elderly lady at the Miller Place McDonalds in Long Island NY. She's been there since I was a kid, please give her a shoutout! Also, shoutout to the Wading River McDonalds that closed during COVID times, the entire staff was exemplary, very sad they closed that location.
Out of nearly 40,000 locations of McDonald’s and a million of employees or two, Barbara is a longest serving McDonald’s employee and worked for 53 years! I don’t think I can work that long. Used to work at McDonald’s from 2008 to 2010 in PA, I never met any employees who worked for a very long time!
Never believed anyone would be that crazy to work that long at any fast food restaurant all I see is new workers and new managers the only one that’s probably as old as her is the CEO of McDonald’s
I'm honestly surprised she loves her job that much to the point where she doesn't want to retire anytime soon. I've never worked at a Mcdonald's before, but I've seen how busy those employees work behind the counter. I definitely believe they're underpaid, and underrated as employees. Even if she doesn't have to do so much, being at one job at a small Mcdonald's building for 5 decades seems to boring to me. 10 years felt too long for me at my previous job which was at a grocery store.
Well isn’t it the same for most jobs? You go to a building to work. Unless you had a job that required a lot of travel. Isn’t it the same for everyone?
McDonald’s definitely brings people joy! I’m glad to see she’s enjoyed 53 years of working for such an awesome fast food chain! Deserves a lot of honor for putting a lot of work into the place!!
Somebody who shows this level of commitment deserves compensation on the level of somebody who is invested in the company, give this woman some shares in McDonald’s!!!
Reminds me of a guy I used to work with that worked for Taco Johns for 40+ years at the same store. That guy could tell you the stores history almost from start to current day. Im unsure if he still works there today, as a corporation bought it and ran it into the ground. Basically everyone quit.
@@defyyourlogic487 No, its a fast food mexican restaurant that WAS better than taco bell. I believe is mostly just here in the midwest, so if you live on either coast you've probably never heard of it. However our store was bought by a corporation and slowly ran into the ground. I quit, then basically everyone else because it got so bad at our store. Then Taco Johns themselves started lowering their food quality significantly as of recently. At this point its pretty much just glorified Taco Bell. However it used to be much better.
@@blairexodus8005 that's good. Must be easier now I got work for my family so sucks seeing that all the money I make ain't enough it would be for myself. But your right money now a days ain't enough for even closet
A person spending 53 years at McDonald's is astounding but also sad like there could have been other jobs that she could pursue, but she chose to stay at McDonald's for 53 years when they don't even pay their employees $13 an hour which is just sad.
Come on McDonald's! You make billions yearly YOU should honour her with some type of trophy and large financial award. Can you imagine the history has lived and witnessed. McDonald's you need to do right by her. She's given you 53 years.
this reminded me of a pizza delivery driver who was delivering pizzas for so long he was the only pizza delivery driver working in delivering pizzas the longest. he had the dedication Barbara had in delivering pizzas. dedication to what you truly love so much matters the most no matter if it is flipping burgers, delivering pizzas or anything everybody never thought of putting their dedication into their passion for work it is out of the question being just a career let alone a job.

As someone who has worked for McDonald's for a full two and a half days, I applaud anyone who could stand working at McDonald's for more than a week.
☺️ It will get better! First week is hellish in any new job.
it helped that she started working there when the company was at it peak. When you could make living from fast food. When society had some manners.
@@tyrcipher8811 Yep and when workers and customers were polite to one another.

I beg to differ.
What a sweetheart! Golden lady. 🥇
After 50 years just give her her own store she earned it. With her own staff. Let her go corporate piggies.
That's not how business works
This sounds plausible in theory but she’s not a fit to own a business. If she was she’d already have a better job.

Hope shes been given options and loading up on stock. A lady this dedicated deserves to be part of the actual business.
For sure!

Yea? How many McDonalds/Walmarts/Burger Kings do you know where they offer stock options to the old lady that wipes down the tables?
