Dot Sharp worked at a McDonald's restaurant in Pennsylvania for 45 years. She retired on Friday.
Sharp, 84, took orders at the drive-thru. She said she's "really sad" to leave her coworkers and customers behind.
On her last day, the drive-thru line wrapped around the building "because so many of her regulars wanted to wish her well."
