commissary holidays

It really is worth a trip to the commissary according to Mrs. Holli Hurst. Mrs. Hurst has been shopping at the Altus Air Force Base Commissary for more than 13 years. Although it requires driving from town and taking time to pass through base entry control procedures she is more than willing because of the high quality of the products, she said.

commissary holidays

In many respects it’s business as usual at the Altus Air Force Base Commissary. The store relies on an automated system that flows products to the store before shelves are empty, but not so soon that they sit on shelves too long. The automated system has holiday “bumps” built in so the holiday rush seems transparent to customers. Mr. Tomas Sanchez (facing) and Mrs. Tess Frisbey make sure that shelves are full and that prices are accurate. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Paul Dean)
