Hey, what's up everybody?
I'm Tyler Thomason,
and I'm coming to you in a very special
Associates Week edition
of "What's Good, Walmart?"
We know there's a lot going
on in the world today.
Hopefully this right here will bring you
some positivity, bring you something
that might make you smile and celebrate
our incredible associates
all around the globe.
So, let's get to it.
Okay, in this episode we're
highlighting associates
who went above and beyond,
and I'm talking about Jessica LaBoon.
Jessica is a Pharmacy
Manager at Store 4617
in Pompano Beach, Florida.
Recently Jessica encountered
an elderly customer
who was having issues
with her insulin pen,
and being part of a vulnerable population,
this customer was trying to stay home.
She did not have a smartphone,
so there was no way
to do a video call, but Jessica was not
going to let that stop her.
So she went by the customer's home
on her way home from work, and Jessica
was able to get the issue fixed.
It was a really simple fix,
but what it told me was how stressful
this time is, especially for our seniors.
As I was leaving she was,
once again, in tears,
but this time it was tears of relief,
and she was so incredibly grateful.
Amazing customer service, Jessica!
You are doing some important work there.
All right, over in the
U.K., Brian and Victoria,
they're a senior couple
living in Dagenham,
trying to do their best to
stay home and stay safe,
but they have no way of
getting their groceries online.
Well, that is where ASDA associate Gemma
stepped in to help.
We don't need to be able to help
100 people to make a difference.
Helping one local family
or one local couple
can make a really big difference,
and what I take from it, and how proud
I now feel with the
job that I do for ASDA.
That is fantastic, Gemma,
keep doing what you're doing.
All right, let's go over
to Frederick, Maryland,
Sam's Club 6652. Karl Welfling
is the Meat Lead there.
Not too long ago he
befriended an elderly couple.
He always had their meats custom cut,
ready to go when they came
in for their routine visit.
Well recently he noticed
they weren't coming in
as often as they used to,
and he later found out
that the husband had passed away.
Well Karl reached out to the member
and wanted to offer his condolences
and offer anything he could do to help.
The member recently started coming back
with her brother, and Karl
has maintained a friendship.
They exchange Christmas
cards. They talk often.
That right there is what it's all about.
Karl, well done.
You see what I did there?
He's the Meat Lead, well done?
Okay, well, I tried.
Okay, our last story is
gonna give you all the feels.
In fact, it might give you goosebumps.
Darius Scarver is an
associate at store 5348
in Montgomery, Alabama.
He's part of the SparkApella Group,
and this dude can sing.
In fact, he got an audition
with America's Got Talent.
If you don't believe me,
take a listen for yourself.
No, I won't be afraid
No, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
Isn't that something we all need
right about now?
Darius, thank you for that, and thank you
to our incredible associates
all around the world.
Continue to be that light.
Continue to be that spark
in your community.
You gave me a reason to smile today.
Hopefully you did the same.
Thank you so much for checking out
this Associates Week edition
of "What's Good, Walmart?"
Can't wait to see you
the next time we do this.
I'll see you then.
