Proudly Serving: Sobeys #551 Paradise, NL
Position: Cashier
Core Value: Get it Done with Passion and Integrity
This past spring, while Meghan was working, a freak storm slammed her community of Paradise, just outside of St. John’s. Coming out of nowhere, the wind picked up violently and with such force that even stop signs encased in concrete blocks were blown over. Since the ferocity and suddenness took everyone by surprise, shoppers were still heading out to their cars unaware that debris, including shingles from a nearby building, were being whipped across the parking lot. Concerned for their customers’ safety, Meghan and her co-worker Luke Hearn, began accompanying shoppers to their cars in order to personally load the groceries. When the wind became too much for that, Meghan and Luke instructed customers to pull up to the front of the store and remain in their vehicles while they loaded the cars. It was all in a day’s work, says Meghan. “That’s just who I am. I’m always willing to help out people.”
