Pauline Richards, 74, has been with the takeaway fried chicken chain for 47 years.
She has served up more than six million drumsticks and millions more chicken wings at the KFC store in Taunton, Somerset.
Pauline’s roles since 1978 have ranged from cleaner to manager.
She says simply enjoying a rapport with customers has been the special recipe for her longevity.
She said: “If you keep them happy, they are happy to come and see you. They come in and look for me and if I am on a break they ask for me to come down and say hello.”
Pauline, who works alongside colleagues as young as 17, says she has no plans to stop.
She said: “It all depends on what my body says.
