First of all, what we're NOT going to do is skip over the FACT that this man is even able to do this at 97. He's of sound mind, still moves better than some that are 30-50 years younger than him, & appeared to be living independently. That's a goal in & of itself. Respect.

ThatLadyDray - my 92 year old grandmother lives on her own. I have her groceries and food from restaurants delivered to her and she has a housekeeper come every other Saturday to clean for her, but she lives absolutely independently. I live 10 hours away from her and every other person in our family that lives in the same town (some a few blocks from her) don’t call or check on her. Sadly. I’m glad this man is able to interact with people and still feel useful. It’s important at their age. ❤️

Err, he does not move better than a 47 year old. Unless you're referring to a 47 year old disabled alcoholic or something. Maybe someone 10-20 years younger is a bit more reasonable.

By law he doesn't get a break because he only works 4 hours. If he worked more than 4 hours, he would have to by law take a break, or the company could get fined by the Department of Labor. It varies from State to State. I once worked for a company who got fined for not having Employees take their breaks. We all got a few extra hundred dollars on our checks because Department of Labor calculated how much they owed every employee for missing breaks. I have no idea how they calculated it, but I didn't care, I got some extra money out of it!

Same, my grandpa retired for 2 years then started a taxi service, I’m happy he wants to work but I also see him stressing all the time

My boss I had before I left to serve abroad and he still is, a dentist. He's 83 and has 3 days in his practice and 3 days teaching at the dental school at university. Over 50 years. And he has a million active hobbies. and he Travels and lectures. He has perfect eyesight and is steady as a rock and knows his stuff. He has out lived most of his patients. He says "You retire, you die." There has got to be something to that. He tries to convince everyone, keep working. Pretty amazing

Guys like Benny survived The Depression and World War II. Life was never easy, and it made them mentally tough. No time for feeling sorry for yourself. The Greatest Generation.

That’s what a truthful life is and meaningful life to yourself SIR. I have so much respected for you and I Salute you !! May you have Long meaningful..wonderful life !!

Benny is too cute! GOD BLESS him. May GOD continue to keep him healthy and strong and many more years Benny. God bless you. CBS thank you Always for the good stuff.

What an amazing man still wants to work at 97 if I live to be that age I would be the same way love to work and earn a paycheck I know how he feels who wants to sit around and do nothing good bless this man

He is so nice but it makes me sad knowing that customers are still going to be rude to him regardless of his situation. Ive been a cashier and this older lady would get screamed at for not understanding english. People are just so rude

Great story.

Brings me to tears to see this honestly. The fact that in this day and age… many young men don’t even want to work or keep a job.

Amazing ! Thank you for your service sir!

Amazing Sir :) Keeping busy and money earn both important in any age . respect to you

I hope you are always healthy. Stay healthy.

Love these old Jersey boys. No one else in the world like them.

Love you, Benny.

This is amazing he works hard !

They all have sense of humour.. amazing old man

an amazing story of a vet that won't take a break at his job at stop and shop in NJ.

thank u benny showing that anyone can help and and make some one some smile and love too work benny "champ " ficeto"

Such an amazing man! Wish I could go visit him!

I think going to "work" simply makes u feel busy accompanied instead of lonely at home

God bless and every credit to this man👍

Salute to you Sir.

Working at older age past retirement actually keeps you healthy and makes you live longer. That's because you have to be physically and mentally active while working. And I don't mean house chores or gardening, but real jobs that you have to be responsible in conducting.

Godbless you thank you for your service

OMG!! I want to be like this man when I grow old! God bless you. 💪💪👏👏

My love to you..

Such an awesome story love him

I love this man lol......"thats the boss man!!!"

Wow very impressive, thank you for serving Sir God bless you 😃♥️

The government needs to provide him with all the luxuries. He served our country he deserves to enjoy every moment of his life at this point

Amazing!

@@VentureHolly I disagree I think our generation is very selfish and self centered and not very nice if I am being completely honest. We think we are too superior to put in a hard days work simply for the pleasure of working for something, it is a good feeling if you have accomplished something, rather than only concentrating on nihilism and self satisfaction, the truth is that cats and dogs in America eat better than most of worlds humanity which is sick. We have become a consumer led society buying things we don't need. We support people into power who commit terrible atrocities in our names and apathy, misinformation and a push via big tech to become a totalitarian society is probably the biggest issue facing our generation ( millenials ) thankfully the generation coming after ours has more sense and has seen the vapidness of millenials and our obsession with self and pleasure and mass consumerism. I have faith that future generations will heed the warning and vote accordingly, 1984 was a warning after all not an instruction manual.

Shouting interview

Poor Benny had to stop working when COVID started. He's 100 or 101 by now!

I am never going to complain again sir

That is keeping him alive.

Looks like someone drives him to work. At some point, someone is going to tell him not to place a melon on top of bread. Ha! I wish more people see the reward in working later in life. I think the benefits are: moving improves health, social interaction extends life, he derives personal satisfaction for contributing to society, feeling needed by helping others, keeps the mind active, etc.
