Longtime McDonald’s employee Freia David celebrated her retirement from the fast food industry after an incredible 32 years of service on Aug. 29, according to local reports.
David, who has Down syndrome, has manhandled the fries station for the Needham, Massachusetts, location five days a week between the hours of 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. for the last three decades.
The festivities took place at a familiar place—David’s former place of employment. Management invited community members to celebrate David’s huge milestone. A banner that read, “Come Celebrate Freia David’s Retirement After 32 Years,” hung underneath the golden arches.
More than 100 people—family, friends, and customers—filled the fast food restaurant and were treated to complimentary french fries.
David was gifted two cakes and a necklace with a pendant in the shape of McDonald’s french fries. She also received cards, Disney stuffed animals, and a proclamation from the state House of Representatives.
