Position: Deli 2nd
Core Value: Get it Done with Passion and Integrity
For Kathryn, assisting customers is one of the most rewarding parts of her job. “We have a lot of regular customers who come in and a lot of seniors. We go out of our way to make sure they get what they need and make sure they are okay.” That dedication was apparent recently when she helped co-workers Krystene Harvey and Kelly Sato refurbish an apartment for an elderly customer. “I asked if they needed any help and they said Norma needed furniture and towels and things,” says Kathryn. “So I put the word out to my family and we were able to get her a couch, towels and linens, bedding, curtains.” Kathryn’s boyfriend and cousin then helped get the items to Norma’s place. “We loaded it up in Surrey and drove to Richmond on my day off to move it in.” Kathryn credits her mother for her sense of compassion. “She taught us to take care of others,” says Kathryn. “It’s just the right thing to do.”
