A fast-food chain went viral and earns praise from netizens for hiring a senior citizen to welcome customers.
Hiring senior citizens has become an increasing trend among companies as they recognize the unique value older employees bring to the workplace. Many businesses are beginning to see the benefits of employing seniors, not just as a way to fill positions but to foster a more inclusive work environment.
Senior employees often bring years of experience, knowledge, and skills from their previous jobs, which can be an asset, especially in roles that require patience, understanding, and problem-solving. Their expertise allows them to handle various situations effectively.
Recently, a netizen named cayeeeherrera shared a photo of an elderly woman greeting customers at a popular fast-food chain ‘Chowking’. The post quickly circulated online and elicited reactions from netizens.
The photo shows a grandmother who was hired by a well-known fast-food chain to greet customers as they enter the store.
In the post, the netizen shared that the Chowking branch located in SM Novaliches, had hired a senior citizen to welcome customers as part of their team. The grandmother works a four-hour shift and enjoys what she does.
