They are Pearl Hefley, 73, her daughter Joanne Langley, 36, and April Burkhead, 23, who is Hefley's granddaughter and Langley's niece.
"All three of us are all here practically every day," Langley said. "It's wonderful working with my mother and my niece. I used to baby-sit April when she was a baby."
The three have nearly 70 years of experience total as waitresses at various restaurants, although they had never worked together before. Some of their past places of employment include D. Nalley on Third Street, the Twig & Leaf on Bardstown Road and a few restaurants that closed -- Lynnview, on Preston Highway, Magic Inn on Crittenden Drive and Sandy's on Dixie Highway.
"The thing in this kind of work is that you have to enjoy people," Hefley said, adding that she likes her job too much to retire. "I like to work. What else would I do?"
