84 years old, starts baking at midnight, and makes over 300 pastries a night. Pure dedication.

Definitely one of those videos that should be heartwarming, but instead I’m just like, oh god, someone please help her. She deserves to rest.

I really gotta work on my posture…

I love OP’s naive Redditor mindset that this woman is toiling away at her age because of some devotion to the craft, instead of the fact she needs to work to survive

“Pure dedication” is the only thing OP could think of when seeing this hunched over poor old woman working her dwindling health like a workhorse to her end. But I guess she looks happy right?

God damn.

No 84 year old should be working like that. r/mademesmile is one of the most dystopian subreddits on this site

Way too many of these shops run by seniors here. They can’t retire because basic pension isn’t enough. They can’t sell their shop because no one wants to take it over, it it’ll cost too much to modernize. Many of these folks didn’t have kids or if they did, the kids don’t want to take over
My mother in law (78 years old) is in a similar position. She doesn’t need the money, but she can’t sell her small business. If she stops, then her customers will need to find somewhere else, which in a society where the population is dropping so quickly, that’s a challenge.

I read this as “barking” so many times. I think I need to go back to bed.

The whole time I could only think “Time to make the Doughnuts!”

The best baker I ever had on my team was an 83 year old whip sharp cat lady and I still miss her every day. She could mop the floor with all of us and told us so. I hope you’re enjoying your retirement, Joyce!

Looks like pure hell tbh.

She’s lovely but is sad she has no option

She’s fucking killing it while I’m over here complaining about my plantar fasciitis.
Who made a whole southern spread for lunch for her community every day. And if they couldn’t pay, she wasn’t worried by it. She even had her cash box stolen and said “they needed it more than me.”
An actual modern day Saint.

Sometimes you just gotta put your head down, and get the work done.

This isn’t dedication, it’s desperation. She has no family willing to help her and no government support to live on so she’s having to do this. Just look at that posture, thats not normal. She needs some rest but ppl like you just see the headline and think “awww granny making bread for the village” no. The village abandoned her and she’s got nothing else going for her
