A 72-YEAR-OLD WOMAN RETIRED FROM HER JOB AT MCDONALD'S AFTER 39 YEARS:

The fast food industry has a turnover rate of about 300%. That means in any given year, an average fast food restaurant will change over its entire staff about three times. So it's pretty incredible when you hear a story like THIS . . .

Last week, 72-year-old Nell Pierce-Boykin retired from her job managing a McDonald's restaurant in Morrow, Georgia. But get this . . . Nell got her first job at McDonald's back in 1970, and she's worked for the chain ever since. If you do the math, that means Nell worked for McDonald's for 39 years. (Clayton News-Daily)

If you're wondering how Nell was able to afford retirement in this economy, given that she works at a fast food restaurant, her son, Dwayne, won $750,000 on a Georgia State Lottery scratcher last month . . . so he hooked her up.
