“Customers come in and I know I ask them how they’re doing like ‘Ya’ll doing okay today?’ to put a smile on their face. Then they smile and say, ‘We’re doing really great right here Mr. Jimmie!” he added.

Scott’s 65 years of dedicated service was honored with a celebration attended by friends, family, and colleagues in February 2024. Present at the retiremeent celebration was Mayor Lester Miller, the Macon-Bibb County mayor.

Mayor declared February 21, 2024, as Jimmie Scott Day, marking the retirement celebration with pictures, speeches, and lots of cake.

Scott said he has seven children, but S&S Cafeteria was like an extended family to him.“Most of the time, I spend time with my family. But I really like to come to work. I come to work every day. I enjoy it,” he said.

The General Manager Kevin Heide of the resturant who worked with Scott for 15 years expressed admiration for his ability to light up a room. He said that working side by side with Scott for 15 years is an honor.

“This is his home. This is his life. To amplify the service, I think that’s one of the biggest things. He’s always service-oriented. He treats them all with his heart,” he said.

Scott said even though he is formally retiring, he might return to S&S Cafeteria after a little”vacation. “I might take a little trip or a little vacation, but I’m coming back,” he said.
