Bartholomeo "Bennie" Ficeto is turning 98 years old this week, but he's not interested in retiring. He still works at the Stop & Shop in Edison, New Jersey, as a "bag boy," and wouldn't want it any other way. "You got to enjoy work, you got to enjoy what you're doing. I see people running around and saying 'Oh, I have to go to work!'" he told CBS News as he bagged groceries on Tuesday. "That's ridiculous."
Ficeto doesn't complain about a little hard work. In fact, he hopes to pick up an extra shift. The New Jersey native has always been a hard worker. He told CBS News he enlisted in the military when he was about 19 years old. He served in the Air Force during World War II, flying a B-25 Mitchell bomber over North Africa and Italy. He said the hardest part about his time in service was losing his friends.
