OPERATION: Call Out—Western Region
Western Region recognizes Teresa Thayer, Marcus Mincey and Paxton Newburg  for their outstanding hard work and unwavering dedication to our customers.
Teresa Thayer
Visual Merchandiser
F.E. Warren/Ellsworth Exchange
Teresa is an outstanding associate and dedicated team player. As the visual merchandiser for the F.E. Warren and Ellsworth Exchanges, which are five hours apart, she never hesitates to ensure each store looks its best. Teresa takes pride in creating appealing, organized displays that align with the brand’s image and capture customer attention. She understands shopper behavior and strategically places products to encourage sales. Working closely with store managers, she ensures displays, layouts and signage are consistent and effective across all locations. Her hard work, commitment, and positive attitude make her an invaluable part of the team. She recently was asked to train the new visual merchandiser at Buckley SFB and with no hesitation, she accepted and drove two hours to help with the training. Thank you for always going the extra miles for the team!
Marcus Mincey
Laborer, Beale AFB Burger King
Beale Main Exchange
Marcus Mincey has gone above and beyond in supporting the Beale Burger King team. His efforts were instrumental in helping the facility contribute an additional $40,000 to the bottom line. Over the past seven years as a laborer, Marcus has ensured equipment remains in top condition while delivering outstanding service to our customers. Known as our ace in the drive-through, he consistently drives efficiency, trains new associates on the register and drive-through and helps improve speed of service. His commitment expertise, and willingness to mentor others make Marcus an indispensable member of the team. We’re grateful for his contributions and proud to have him as part of the Beale Burger King family.
Paxton Newburg
Barber, Barbershop
Mountain Home ExchangeÂ
Since joining the Barber Shop team in October 2024, Paxton has shown customers what hairstyling is all about, whether it be classic cuts or encouraging them to try something new. He is well liked by all and customers are willing to wait for his chair to be available. They also appreciate his easygoing personality just as much as his skills to keep up during the peak hours. Sales have increased 25% since he has been with the shop, even during the hard time when the base had closed and half the Airmen deployed for the majority of the year. Paxton shows how to be a true asset to the team.
