In a small town in northern Italy, there’s a barista who has been brewing espressos and serving coffees for more than 80 years. She’s still going strong as she turns 101 this weekend, with no intention of retiring. John Yang reports.

      Probably only thing keeping her alive. If she retired she die within the year. Sad if you ask me, but the older generations only know work.

        It just seems to be a thing in general, that if you stop, you just… never start again. My grandpa always credited his farm with keeping him going strong. Well, that and grandma’s cooking lol

        Yeah there was a world where that was all there was, family took up the rest and to say no to either was a Big Deal.

        On the other hand, no facebook or fox news so - win?
