Core Value: Get It Done with Passion and Integrity

A team player who sees her co-workers as family, Darcey Johnson loves teaching, and is happiest when she is able to help colleagues reach their full potential. “I love training someone to do something they’re terrified to learn, and then you see that spark in their eyes when they get it — that’s my proudest moment,” she said, adding that these proud moments keep her positive and putting her best foot forward. Supporting the growth and success of others is why Darcey is successful herself, and why she has the respect of her team. Darcey’s colleagues credit her work ethic and exceptional diplomacy skills when creating a fair and thoughtful schedule for more than 50 people. “Treat everyone fairly,” she said. “We can’t do our job unless everybody is doing theirs.” To foster engagement with customers at the store, Darcey is influential in organizing events such as a children’s Easter egg hunt, and loves to share recipes in Food Shares to inspire interest in trying new grocery items and meals.
