  Plenty of elderly people enjoy janitorial and cashier positions as a way to stay engaged in society. I agree nobody should have to work past retirement age, but I wouldn’t assume everyone is suffering and needs rescue.

  72 year old still working as a janitor.

  The local cancer center has a janitor who is around this age. It's awful that our society has come to a point where the elderly have to keep working, and even worse that a lot of them have to take jobs like janitors.
