Yuina Shimabukuro
Food Service Foreman, Subway
Camp Zama Exchange
On Nov. 6, during a basketball game at Camp Zama, a group of high school students visiting from Sasebo arrived at the food court after closing time. Popeyes and Burger King were already closed and were only able to serve a limited amount of remaining food, but Subway Foreman Yuina Shimabukuro chose to take extra steps to ensure every student received a proper meal. Even though the store had officially closed, she reopened the line, prepared fresh items and treated the students with exceptional kindness and professionalism. Her decision demonstrated strong judgment, compassion and a genuine commitment to doing the right thing for our community. Her actions exemplify the spirit of service, setting a standard of integrity and customer care that reflects positively on the entire team.
