http://current.com/items/90941587_68-ye ... -years.htmA 68-year-old man who still works at the first McDonald's restaurant in Missouri has been honored for 50 years of service. Leonard Rhomberg began his job at a McDonald's restaurant in the St. Louis suburb of Crestwood in 1959, the year after it opened. And he still works there five days a week.
KSDK-TV reports that the restaurant's owners, Patrick and Tom Hillmeyer, thanked Rhomberg on Wednesday with a cake, gifts and a St. Louis Cardinals jersey...
"Here for your 50th year here have some cake".. rofl.

A giant big mac the size of a cake would've been more appropriate.

You guys seems to have missed the words after cake. Gifts could mean a gold watch and a cheque for $10,000.

I've worked there for a little over a year. It's not that bad..only thing that sucks is the pay but I'm to lazy to apply for another job. They're so flexible with your schedule that their letting me work 4 hours a week during school =)
Let's me pay my cellphone bill and have some money left over.

He's worked there for 50 years, I would expect some sort of promotion within those 50 years, but if he's doing the same job, that kinda sucks.
