Weekly Recognition Roundup-April 10th


We asked for your amazing stories and you didn’t disappoint! From jump starting cars to saving customers lives-- read on to find out more about the truly remarkable employees we have at Rickers!

Dawn Walsh, CSR, #35 Brownsburg—From Associate Manager Kat McDowell: Dawn Walsh is the definition of WOW!  SHE SAVED A CUSTOMERS LIFE! A woman came into the store on 3rd shift, said she thought she was having a heart attack, and then collapsed by the registers.  Dawn immediately sprang into action with her medical background.  She checked the woman’s pulse, which was weak, and called 911.  Dawn stayed with her the entire time monitoring her. Then, the woman’s heart stopped.  Dawn gave CPR chest compressions while continuing to monitor her condition.  She was calm, cool & collected the whole time until the ambulance came. If it wasn’t for Dawn being here, that woman would probably not be alive today. Thank you Dawn for being such an amazing, wonderful person! You went above and beyond the call of duty! Dawn YOU give a whole new meaning to the term SUPERSTAR!

Lamar Wilson, Store Manager, #18 Ninth Street – From CSR Candice Welch: “Lamar at the 9th street store helped me out big time! I had a long line of customers and he came into use the ATM. He saw that I was swamped and helped me with filling cups! Thanks a lot friend. He is the true example of ‘There is no I in team!’” Way to step in and help out Lamar!

Amber Wielinski, CSR, #77 Clover Road – From a Customer: “I was at Rickers in Noblesville last week and I saw Amber do something pretty great. I was pumping my gas and I noticed Amber walk over to a car and get out jumper cables. She then asked a gentleman with a truck if he would come help jump start another customer’s car. She didn’t have to offer the jumper cables and I think it is pretty spectacular that you have employees that are willing to go above and beyond to help their customers.” Thanks for stepping up to help out our customers in need Amber! You are a SUPERSTAR!

Lynette Gregory, CSR, #37 Plainfield & I-70 – From Manager Ryan Hamilton: “When I came into the store the other morning, there was a used gas can sitting on the floor in the back room. I asked the 1st shift employees if they knew about it and they did not. After asking the 2nd shift employees about it, I found my answer. An elderly customer had come in upset, believing that she had been overcharged for her gas. She thought that the calibration on the pump was off. Lynette, one of my newer CSR’s (but one that is knowledgeable beyond her tenure with Ricker’s), purchased a gas can and the gallon of fuel that the woman believed she had been shorted, proceeded to fill it up in front of the woman, and put it in her car for her . This not only showed the woman how concerned Ricker’s is that we aren’t cheating our customers, but how we go the extra mile to show them we care!” Fantastic Job Lynette! Way to show how a Ricker employee shines!

Darteresa Ballard, CSR, #41 Plainfield & US-40 – From Associate Manager Vanessa Blake: On Wednesday 4/2/14, Darteresa was working the register on second shift. She was asked by a customer if we take checks. Upon telling him we do not she also told him it isn’t worth spending a night in Hendricks County. After saying this to him again and asking him to put the items he had hidden on the counter, he pulled out 2 cans of spam and a milky way. She told him that if she would have had the money she would have gotten it for him and he needed to finish out his evening elsewhere. She handled this incident with great poise and demeanor. WAY TO GO DARTERESA!

South Meridian Crew, #36—From a customer, “I would like to thank the crew at South Meridian. I never fail to see a smiling face with a warmer welcome. Thank you guys, keep up the great work, you are appreciated.” Way to rock it South Meridian Crew!
