The world's best customers salute the world's best employees
strong customer focus and professional delivery are
to be commended. When someone takes the time and
effort to follow up on even the mundane details, it
improves the commissary’s image. Pamela Benson’s
attitude, initiative and follow-through are assets to
McConnell Commissary, and one of the reasons I
shop there.

Lindsay Aldridge, student
grocery cashier at Columbus
Commissary, Miss., is truly
an outstanding commissary
employee. She is neat, friendly,
knowledgeable and sincere,
especially to seniors. All
questions and comments receive
her full attention and are fully
answered on the spot. She is
the best employee at Columbus
Commissary!

Two quick things: First, the strawberries in the
produce section at Fort Worth Commissary,
Texas, are running low, because my wife is there
every day buying all of them. They are some of the
best tasting. Additionally, the seafood roadshow
last weekend – outstanding! We moved here from
Newport, R.I., and the lobster tails we got at the
commissary were just as good, if not better, than the
fresh-out-of-the-ocean ones we got in Newport. And,
no kidding, the crab legs were the sweetest-tasting
ones we have ever tasted. So, please have another
roadshow before we move in June.

I could not find ammonia at Shaw
Commissary, S.C., for many months. I was
directed to Hope Wyatt, computer-assistedordering
specialist, but I thought ammonia
was no longer available. Not so! This nice,
personable lady kindly showed me a top shelf
where ammonia was displayed. As in so many
cases, how you do something is as important as
what you do. To us, Hope qualifies as one who
deserves recognition for a fine job.

While I have come across
many outstanding commissary
employees in the last 30-odd
years, Ann McCoy, sales
store checker at Fort Belvoir
Commissary, Va., truly stands
out as one of the very best. She
is always professional, cheerful
and friendly, both in attitude
Ann McCoy and the manner in which she
treats customers. If there were
an employee of the month, she would be my top
recommendation.

William Hicks, meat manager
at Yokota Commissary,
Japan, is always pleasant to
deal with. I always ask to speak
with him when choosing meat
cuts. He is always willing to
help, suggesting different types
of meats and recommending
choice cuts that I have never
Bill Hicks
tried. Mr. Hicks is always
professional and polite. I have
approached him on busy weekends, and he takes
time to ensure I am satisfied with the selections
I choose. I have seen people waiting in line to
speak with him, and he will handle each customer
individually and ensure they are happy with their
meat choices. Mr. Hicks is knowledgeable at what
he does and is a pleasure to deal with. His staff
members are also very helpful. I am grateful that
Yokota Commissary has someone like Mr. Hicks,
who definitely knows his line of work.
