Patch Barracks<br />

Sarafin Cortez, sales store technician, is far<br />

and away the best employee at Patch Barracks<br />

Commissary, Germany. He is consistently friendly,<br />

efficient and fast. He helps the baggers so customers<br />

can get on their way quicker. He is extremely<br />

respectful to every customer, and he knows his<br />

business. I go out of my way to go through his lane<br />

when I check out. He is the model for others to copy.<br />

I have shopped at <strong>com</strong>missaries my entire life – 50<br />

years – and he’s in the top 1 percent I have seen.<br />

Port Hueneme<br />

I congratulate Port Hueneme Commissary,<br />

Calif., for employing store associate Maria<br />

“Yhoyie” Espirita. Every time I go to the office<br />

to request help or I have a problem with the cash<br />

register accepting my debit card, Ms. Maria is so<br />

cordial and helpful. She always has a warm smile on<br />

her face. This lady is a wonderful troubleshooter and<br />

customer <strong>service</strong> representative, and she has been so<br />

every time I needed help in the past one and a half<br />

years. If I still had my small business, I would try to<br />

hire her away from you.<br />

North Island<br />

I have shopped at practically<br />

all <strong>com</strong>missaries around the<br />

world; however, none measure up<br />

to North Island Commissary,<br />

Calif. I shop here nearly every<br />

day, and the shelves are always<br />

well stocked; each department<br />

offers outstanding quality, variety<br />

and freshness; displays are<br />

appealing to the eye, with sales Thomas Testerman<br />

prominently marked; and the<br />

store is impeccably clean, with easy access – most<br />

<strong>com</strong>forting. Last but not least, is customer <strong>service</strong> –<br />

courteous, above and beyond, with an “ask and you<br />

shall receive” attitude. Energy and teamwork among<br />

the staff permeate the atmosphere. It’s evident that<br />

under the leadership of Store Director Thomas<br />

Testerman, employees are inspired to give their<br />

very best. I have friends who travel to North Island<br />

Commissary from other towns to shop here. Please<br />

know how grateful I am to have the privilege to shop<br />

here.<br />

Menwith Hill<br />

I live in Scotland, and I contacted Store Director<br />

Ricky Potteiger, Menwith Hill Commissary,<br />

England, about the store and the requirements for me<br />

!<br />

to use it. Ricky<br />

came back<br />

straight away<br />

and provided<br />

me with the<br />

information I<br />

needed. He also<br />

volunteered<br />

to escort me<br />

and my family<br />

if we had any<br />

problems<br />

getting on the base. He was friendly and helpful prior<br />

to our arrival, then he made himself and his deputy,<br />

Janice Johnson, available to us during our visit.<br />

These two representatives made our trip down from<br />

Scotland very enjoyable and stress-free – and as<br />

your slogan says, they made it “worth the trip.” Ricky<br />

and Janice’s enthusiasm was evident in the friendly,<br />

helpful staff throughout the <strong>com</strong>missary.<br />

Lackland<br />

I thank the great employees you have working at<br />

Lackland Commissary, Texas. Petra Martinez<br />

and Belinda Connell, store associates, do an<br />

outstanding job helping customers select produce.<br />

Every time I shop at the <strong>com</strong>missary, these two ladies<br />

not only help me, but also all the other customers,<br />

selecting the best fruits and vegetables. We are very<br />

lucky to have dedicated employees like this, who go<br />

out of their way to assist <strong>service</strong> members and their<br />

families. Thanks again, and keep up the good work.<br />

Vilseck<br />

For Rose Barracks Youth Services, we send a<br />

big thank you to Deputy Store Director Terry Ford<br />

and Michael Maier in the bakery at Vilseck<br />

Commissary, Germany. Thanks to their continued<br />

support and outstanding customer <strong>service</strong>, our<br />

National Kids’ Day has been a huge success, and the<br />

cake was delicious and beautifully decorated. Vilseck<br />

Commissary is the best. Keep up the good work.<br />

Fort Worth<br />

We routinely visit the Fort Worth<br />

Commissary, Texas. On our visit today, we had<br />

the pleasure of again having store associate Patrick<br />

Arredondo serve our needs at the self-<strong>service</strong><br />

checkout. He has been at that position many times<br />
