Arby's has a 91-year-old employee who has been working full-time for ten years.

An Arby’s restaurant located in northern Indiana has an employee of 91 years who has been working all week for ten years, his name is Jack Burkett and he is considered the best worker in the place.

Jack is a widower who started working at Arby’s to stay active and chose the restaurant located on Emerson Drive in Elkhart because it is where he and his late wife used to eat.

“Before my wife passed away, we used to come here three times a day for breakfast, lunch and dinner,” Jack told WNDU.

When Jack communicated his desire to work there, said he was willing to work for free. General Manager Rosemary Gresso explained to her regular customer that he couldn’t volunteer at the restaurant, but he would be hired.

“And they said, ‘When do you want to go to work?’ And I said, ‘Now. Today.’ So she said, ‘No, not today, tomorrow,’” Jack recalled.

The long-time Arby’s employee started out as a lobbyist and has become a jack of all trades at restaurant, cleaning tables, cleaning booths and washing dishes.

Jack is a responsible employee who is always willing to do more than what is asked. “He usually works seven days a week, but I don’t even put him on my schedule anymore because he just shows up,” explains Gresso.

Even though he frequently eats fast food, the man in 91 years old feels that he is still in shape. He loves the burgers at Arby’s. “Can’t beat the carne asada. The roast beef is out of this world. It’s a hamburger, but it’s not”, assures Jack.

Jack says that his secret to staying strong is a shot of apple cider vinegar that he drinks daily. Trick that he also shares with his peers.

Jack Burkett is not the only person in the United States of more than 90 years old who is enthusiastic about her job at a fast food restaurant. Earlier this month, a Chick-Fil-A in Texas celebrated a 91 year old woman for its tenth anniversary at the restaurant.

The Chick-Fil-A in Odessa decided to invite customers to the party to celebrate Elizabeth Ann Mafford, known as “Mrs. Ann”, who is well liked by her clients and co-workers, describe her as a sweet and friendly person.
