COMMISSARY NOTES
After a couple of weeks absence from the "SUN" we sould be bubbling over with
news, however it seems as though we've not fully recovered from the holiday rush
and the usual end of the quarter inventories and the associated mountains of
paperwork.
We would like to take this time to extend our welcome to all the newcomers who
have joined our community during the past few weeks and will cover a few of the
highlights of our operation so that you may have an idea of our goals and general
policies. First of all, we would like for all the patrons to feel that the Comm
issary Store is your store and we are here to serve ..you to the best of our abil*
ity and manpower staffing. We do appreciate receiving you suggestions or constr
uctive criticism as this has long been proven as on of the best tools in aiding
management to serve the public. A suggestion box is conveniently located at the
beginning of the Navy Issue Section. If you desire a specific reply, please in
sure that you include your name and box number on the suggestion forms provided.
Some suggestions require correspondence with NSD Seattle (our primary source of
supply) and at times, it may take two months to come up with specific information
required for ordering purposes. We are limited by regulation as to the -total
number of line items we are permitted to stock, however we are permited to stock,
however we are continuously reviewing stock movement and discontinuing "dead" or
extremely slow moving items in order that they may be replaced with items the
patrons would like to see added to our stocks. We do make it a policy of stand
ing by the quality of merchandise sold, however in order to prevent over-abuse of
this policy we do require that any spoiled merchandise be returned to the store
prior to reimbursement or replacement. At this time we would like to list a few
do’s and don'ts which will faciliate our service to you and at the same time
assist your fellow patron to enjoy their shopping trips?
DO: Partially complete your personal checks and have them approved prior to
checking your groceries thru, (amounts may be left blank and filled in at the
checkout stand with the amount of the purchase or up to $50.00)
Return your shopping carts to the entrance of the Commissary Store*
Check the checkout stand to insure that all your purchases have been received
prior to leaving the checkout stand.
Make it a policy to periodically check your purchases against your itemized
receipt tape. Any questions should be called to the attention of the Sales Div- I
ision Supervisor (SHC DUCK) or the Officer in Charge.
Assure that your change from your purchases is verified prior to leaving the
immediate vicinity of the cash register. In event that you believe that a mis
take may have been made (after you have returned home or left the store, please
contact SHC DUCK or the OinC personally in order that after register readings
have been compared with cash collections appropriate action may be taken. )
DON*!: Let your youngsters roam free in the store while you are doing your
shopping. They do get in the way of your fellow shopper and there is a strong
possibility of their getting hurt by falling cans, etc while attempting to climb
shelves and refrigerated display cases.
Send your small youngsters to shop by themselves without providing them with
a list as quite often the tykes get carried away with themselves and add a few
goodies of their own selection and quite often find themselves without sufficient
funds after their purchases have been rung up on the register.
Double park in the aisle while catching up on all the latest news from one of
your friends. We recommend that you pull your cart either in front or behind
that of your friends.
Hesitate to ask for service from one of the sales clerks if the item you are
looking for is not in sight,
