00:00:04 - And we're just like brothers and sisters.

00:00:08 - You can, like, crack a joke with them.
00:00:12 - Our manager, we call her mom.
00:00:14 - I am the store manager.
00:00:16 - Let's go! I'm screaming. I'm shouting.
00:00:20 - I'm excited to see my associates.
00:00:22 - When I took over this store, I wanted to create a fun, warm environment.

00:00:47 - It's important that they feel seen, they feel respected,
00:00:51 - and they feel like — not they feel, they know — that you've got their back.
00:00:55 - It's just awesome being able to work for a company that allows you to do so much.
01:01:01 - So much, just not within the store.
01:04:04 - Even in the community.

01:25:25 - Every time.
01:26:26 - I'm grateful. Truly, truly grateful for the people that I have in this store.
01:32:32 - And to have a company that allows you to do that.
