McDonald’s Japan said that among its nearly 3,000 branches in Japan, the oldest employee is a 95-year-old man living in Toyama Prefecture, while Honda has the oldest female employee, Japan’s Mainichi Shimbun reported.
Honda works at a McDonald’s in a shopping district in Chuo-ku, Kumamoto Prefecture, and goes to work early in the morning with a smile on his face.
He started cleaning the area in front of the shop with a broom and dustbin around 7:30 in the morning. Although he said with a sarcastic smile, “My back started hurting a few days ago,” I still smiled and continued walking, cleaning the ditch and garbage in front of the shop.
She started working at McDonald’s in 2000, a 20-minute bus ride from Nishi-ku, Kumamoto Prefecture, and now works three hours in the morning, five days a week.
Hiromi Ushijima, manager of the McDonald’s branch operated by Honda, is very grateful to Honda. “When Honda says good morning to me in the morning, it is very reassuring and brings energy and comfort to those around me.” He also pointed out that Honda’s high stability is an essential factor in the store. Indispensable character.
Honda was born in Uki, Kumamoto Prefecture. She worked in long-term care hospitals for many years. After retiring at the age of 61, he worked as a cleaning worker at a local university in Kumamoto until the age of 67, but still wanted to continue working.
At that time, Honda’s daughter told him that McDonald’s was recruiting work-study students and there was no age limit. Honda took action to apply that day and has been serving the company ever since.
Although Honda’s hearing has now weakened due to age and his vision has been affected by cataracts, he has a very cheerful personality and candidly stated, “My current hobby is work.” And she enjoys talking to young employees and sharing handmade pickles during breaks.
However, the daughter who originally introduced Honda to the work-study students died of cancer 12 years earlier. Honda will now say “I’m out” to her daughter in photos before leaving for work.
Many of Honda’s friends suffer from dementia or have passed away, but Honda said he has never taken time off due to illness, and said with a smile, “When I talk to young people at work, I see energy. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic. Not affected”.
Even though Honda’s grandson told him, “I have enough work,” Honda didn’t care and said, “Through work, I can stay active, and I hope that when my body can move I can “I can continue to work hard so that people around me don’t suffer.”
