Carol McIntyre never imagined she would spend 30 years in the same job.
But today the 70-year-old is celebrating three decades after a two week stint in the Woolworths butchery department turned into a fulltime vocation.
She originally got her foot in the door in 1988 helping to mark upgoods after GST was first introduced and then she was talked into becoming a 'floater' helping out across all departments.
