.DE!
Years of fries, nary a burger flipped: Clare Kimmerle is 79. She's worked at the same McDonald's in Southampton, Bucks County, for nearly 33 years - since the day it opened.
She has resisted promotion to management - that would mean nights and weekends. She's happy to fill orders at the front counter or make fries - her forte. She is a lean, not-mean, fry machine.
She has never, in 32 years and 10 months of employment, flipped a burger. Never eaten a Big Mac. (Too filling.) Never worked the drive-through or worn a headset. "It would give me a headache," she says.
