Shadia Farhat

Proudly Serving: Sobeys #777 Glen Abbey, Oakville, ON

Position: Cashier

Core Value: Get It Done with Passion and Integrity

Getting it done with passion and integrity is Shadia’s calling card. Without being asked, she takes care of tasks like completing morning logs and fully stocking checkout lanes with bags and supplies every day, often before her shift starts and always with a smile. Even when she worked with a broken foot, she refused help to do what’s needed to keep the store’s front end running smoothly. Thanks to her, the Oakville store boasts 100 per cent in food safety scores. Shadia says she is motivated to do a good job because she loves the customers and her co-workers. “I’m proud where I’m working,” says Shadia, who was a nurse in her home country of Kuwait and a former pharmacy technician. “We are treated well.” Although she is being lauded for always performing her job with a smile, she is honoured to be recognized for it. “I appreciate it so much. To me, everything is good.”
