“Glen is Market Basket’s greatest asset. Whether he’s bagging groceries or assisting a customer to their car with a carriage full, he always sports a big smile and has an infectious laugh. Besides being a hard worker for the past 6 years, the consumers look forward to going through the line at the cash register when Glen is scheduled.”
