93 Year Old Gets Fired From Supermarket, Then Manager Turns Pale When He Takes Revenge

Arthur St. John is a dedicated 93-year-old part-time bagger at Market Basket. He’s worked there for 22 years, but his career started when he was barely 16, and despite his age, he doesn’t look like he ever wants to stop working. But someone makes that decision for him. His manager suddenly fires him with no explanation, forcing him to look for employment elsewhere. But the community rallies around the old man, and encourages him to take his sweet revenge. When Arthur comes back to the store to make things right, his old manager turns pale!

[@thepagan5432]

I was a manager for many years, and people like Arthur were definitely the best employees. Their whole work ethic was fantastic and we had no discipline problems as they were educated at a time when discipline, manners and hard work, etc was taught. Great story and I hope Arthur has many years left ❤️

Arthur St John was not fired. He was out of work because of the Market Basket strike and shutdown in 2014. The gofundme was set up to help him get through the many weeks of shutdown. When the shutdown ended Arthur returned to his position.

So the management then tried to fire all the striking workers. Then the customers mass boycotted every Market Basket Store in New England. It went on for 2 or 3 months until management was forced to sell their shares to Arthur T or the company would go under. As soon as that happened every single employee returned.

This is not how the story goes at all. It is nearly all fabricated. Arthur St John worked at Market basket right up to his death at age 96 in 2017. He was a beloved fixture at the store right up to the end. There was a go fund me for Arthur but it had nothing to do with him being fired. It was during the strike and shutdown in 2014 of all the Market Basket Stores during the DeMoulas family feud and the force out of the highly respected Arthur T DeMoulas. But Arthur T eventually ended up buying out the family and became sole owner of the chain. The gofundme was to help Arthur St John pay his bills during the many weeks of shutdown. Arthur returned to his job afterwards and worked right up to his death at 96 just shy of his 97th birthday. I don't know why anybody would make up this awful story.

Wanting to keep working after retirement age is an ethic that a lot of people don't have. I know some that are in their 70's and still working. Of course these days that's the way it is. Myself, I am 65 and still working. I drove truck over the road, long haul, for 30 years. With my wife's health issues, I retired from trucking and found a job working as a security guard. I took an early retirement at 62. I work part-time plus get my social security. When I hit 66 and 10 months, I am going to go back to full time here. The work is not strenuous, and I enjoy it. My father, after 35 years of driving a city bus, after retiring he got a job part-time driving a school bus. He worked up until he was 72 then decided he wanted to spend more time fishing....lol. I can see me working till my legs give out. I do not like to sit still. Arthur sounds like a fantastic gentleman. We need more like him. Kudo's to Arthur.

It’s not a work ethic at that age. It’s more luck that you’re mentally and physically able to work full time after 65. As someone who worked in the tobacco and hay fields at 13 and 14, then right before my 15 th birthday I got an after school job at the local country store. Then spend 36 years in refrigeration as a meat cutter, retired a few years back. I help my sister in the flower shop she owns,but there’s no way I have time for full time work. Luckily I don’t need the money and I have a couple grand nephews that always keep me going

The greeters are mostly seniors or close to it. Most of the stock shelving are mostly young women and are all helpful and will drop what they are doing and take me to what I'm looking for. Always with a smile. All heavy items were dealt with young men. In the self checkout, because on my scooter, I'm handicapped, they are right there asking me if I need help. Just a pleasant shopping experience. So age really doesn't mean anything anymore. So if a person can do a job and do it well, leave them alone. This is a great story.

When I was a small child in the late '50's very early '60's we had a Sears dept. store that on the rooftop parking level there was the kindest friendly elderly black gentleman that sold hot dogs and pretzels. We always parked at the top to see "Hot Dog Man". He was phenomenal in how he remembered, as far as I know, what everybody wanted on their dog. There were folks that would go there just for a hot dog or pretzel with no intention of going in Sears to shop but would end up in the store anyway with that 'Well, while I'm here" shopping. Unfortunately he passed away and it was then we found out that he had been there for 30+ years and was 102 years old. This was in Washington DC and the "Oh Well" attitude was becoming common except in this case. Sears announced and held a memorial for him and retired his hot dog business because A: He didn't work for Sears and they never charged rent and B: He was irreplaceable. Many people wanted to buy his hot dog machine but it was donated to his church per his request. May he R.I.P.

And then Arthur demonstrated his ability and skill and his working with his employees that he should have been offered at least an assistant manager position so he could oversee and be a role model for other employees. I assume Arthur would have turned down the offer, but it would have been a great gesture on the part of the company.

Arthur should have become an assistant manager, and spokes person for the company on a national level. You don't just toss aside 93 years of life experienced who has seen generations come and go, no his knologe and life exp. Are invaluable he has a vast amount of wisdom, you can't buy that. In any industry that knologe and wisdom are invaluable, if its hard to understand someone who wants to work at 93 should be prized its a great example of determination in life and a goal for others. Plus age discrimination past 40 is a serious crime and its a serious crime.sure the older man might move slower then a 16 year old But everybody know 16 year olds know everything! Its true ask any of them. Moving faster isn't always the best idea its the joy love and smiling face that sets your store apart of other stores. That smile and good cheer will keep your customers coming back. There whole day after that falls into place just from that one act.

My friend Fort Worth Cat's Baseball Minor League manager, Wayne "Twig" Terwilliger, 60 years in professional baseball, an WW2 Iwo Jima Marine retired from Baseball to the tune of the Marine Corp band. Leaving baseball, at age 94 was working at a Weatherford, Texas grocery store sacking groceries, this until his death. Manager of the Minnesota Twins & a player in the early years of Major league ball. Money was not the reason for his working sacking groceries but purpose & structure in life.
