“Home delivery has always been a service that has been tried before.” he said. “The major problem (with home delivery) is having someone on the phone to take orders. There is all kinds of room for errors and misinterpretation.”…But he said that the Summerhill site eliminates employees who potentially ‘choose the wrong soup’ upsetting the customers.
Frank McMullen’s words could not be more true as we stumbled across an old article from “The Supermarket Journal” after our hallways had been cleared in an effort to create more space for office staffers to abide by physical-distancing protocols. The plaque, which once stood in our hallway was moved to a dusty corner. Uncovered by Christy and Denise, we all shared a little laugh in the midst of our makeshift COVID phone and email order service.
Greg McMullen, son of Summerhill Market owner Frank McMullen, said this development is “the next evolution in service,” McMullen told the The Supermarket Journal.
