...At 83 years old, she just crossed her 50th year working there, a career that started in the days when Ronald McDonald was the actual "burger king."

"Nobody works for 50 years anymore, let alone a fast food restaurant," said Madeline Scales, a co-worker VonDielingen's and the wife of his grandson.

"They worked with me when my kids were little, and I thought, 'Why should I walk out on them?'" VonDielingen said.

Speaking of her loved ones, they've pretty much all worked at the McDonald's too.

"I have three daughters that worked here," VonDielingen said. "I had two son-in-laws that worked here. I had three granddaughters that work here.

"You want something, you got to work for it," VonDielingen added. "It's not supposed to be just handed to you."

“Might be “junk food”, but the $1 Sausage Egg McMuffin, senior coffee, and free ice cream cone kept me going at mile 10 of a 25-mile bike ride. All for $2.05, tax included.”

LOL - not junk food at all, only ‘junk food’ for people who need to virtue signal. Glad you got the energy you needed!

I do change it, should have changed it for this thread early, but didn’t expect it to light up so much.

” Supposing her hourly pay is $75-80 an hour,”

I’m a little slow tonight - You ARE joking, right?

Finally somebody noticed. This is probably what she SHOULD be making after 50 years but her actual wage is probably closer to $15/hr. Maybe $20.

I’m going to be in Seymour, IN in 8 days.
If she’s on day shift, I’ll ask her that question.
