Woolworths Kingaroy store manager Cameron McKeown and Joan Dover, centre, with colleagues on Thursday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

May 13, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

Workmates farewelled a popular colleague in style at Woolworths Kingaroy on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Joan Dover is retiring after working at Woolies in Kingaroy for 21 years.<\/p>\n

But that’s only part of her service … Joan originally joined the company 50 years ago at the Queen Street store in Brisbane.<\/p>\n

She told southburnett.com.au<\/strong> after Queen Street she worked at the Mt Isa store.<\/p>\n

Along the way she also had two children, so she worked for a while as a casual.<\/p>\n

Kingaroy store manager Cameron McKeown presented Joan with flowers and chocolates near the checkouts as other staff members gave her a big round of applause.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thursday was Joan’s last day at the cash registers, where she has become a very familiar face with customers.<\/p>\n

“We wanted to make her last day in the store a little bit special for her,” Cameron said.<\/p>\n

Joan’s now going on three weeks’ leave before she officially finishes up, but she’ll be back next week to enjoy a special morning tea with workmates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
