THE world’s longest-serving KFC worker, racking up 47 years, has died aged 74.
Tributes were paid to Pauline Richards, known as “Miss KFC”, after she succumbed to cancer.
She started at the branch in Taunton, Somerset, in 1978, and estimated serving six million chicken drumsticks over the next five decades.
Pauline started as a cleaner, going on to work on the tills and became a manager.
She saw both her daughter and grandson getting jobs there.
Kathryn York, chief people officer at KFC, had called her a “an important role model in her local community.”
This year, Pauline said: “I have no plans to retire, it all depends what my body says.”
She added: “A lot of people on a night out come in looking for me.
“I go to a pub down the road and I see them down there.
“I haven’t bought a drink in the last two years.
After her death, Taunton Town Council said: “Our thoughts are with her family and all those who knew and loved her.”
