Samuel Villemure

Servant fièrement : Sobeys #622 Panavista Drive, Dartmouth, NS

Poste : Cashier

Valeur fondamentale : Always Place the Customer First

Sam had extra reason to be nervous on his first day working at Sobeys four years ago. « My sister works there too and I’m pretty sure she made fun of me the entire time, » he says. The Dalhousie University student was nominated as a Value Champion for his dedication to the customers. « I really like helping customers out, » says Sam. « Seeing them happy before they leave the store is probably the best part of my job because it just makes me happy to carry on with my day. » Sam gets along well with the elderly customers who come in regularly. « They know my name now even without my name tag. I have a great time with the older customers. » Becoming a Value Champion means a lot to Sam who says he was surprised and humbled. « My family is very proud of me and my sister, too. I’ve earned my sister’s respect at work – but not at home, » laughs Sam.
