Russell O’Grady was 18 years old when he first joined the restaurant. After that, he only excelled at his job and never looked back for 32 years. Thanks to the disability employment initiative by Job support, he got the job there and Down Syndrome never affected his ability to work.

Russell began working at the McDonalds in 1986, a time when people really didn’t know how to interact with the people with such disabilities. Russell impressed not only his customers but his managers too with his hard work.

There was a huge celebration for Russel after he completed his 30th year in the restaurant.

McDonald’s supervisor Courtney Purcell claims that O’Grady has become something of a local celebrity in Northmead, stating, “We’ve got regular customers who come in to see Russell on Thursday and Friday, and the staff look after him, so we’re going to miss him”. O’Grady’s brother Lindsey said, “He’s kind of blase about [the job] but loves his work very much. He’s pretty cheeky sometimes. He’s my big brother and he keeps me in line.”
