S . Army Garrison Benelux – Brunssum . The children ages 5 to 10 received an interactive tour of the Commissary . Leslie Fink from SAC explained that since COVID - 19 this is the first time the children left their own community to visit somewhere they usually don ' t go: “These trips allow them to learn social skills and explore from different views . ” It was one thing for the children to see the products . It was a different experience to actually help in making their own lunches . Store manager Sindy Jaramillo explained how they were “teaching them about healthy living and preparing their own snacks . ” The children were given an inside look in how the goods at the bakery were made . They topped their own pretzels with cheese . Afterward produce manager Davy Stevens gave the children a tour of the back cooler . “I showed them how we rotate produce , ” he said . Hair nets and gloves were passed out , after which the children proceeded to fill up their own cup of sliced fruit . All children were rounded up for one last game throughout the store , where they needed to match the list of products with their prices . Roy Harris , supervisory store associate , set some ground rules before releasing them onto the grocery floor . “Find it and find the price , ” he said , as he handed out pens for them to record their discoveries on paper . “They are having a ball!” said Commissary store director Darlene Coaxum , seeing the children walking around the store to find the products . In the end all children left with smiles and stories to tell , getting to enjoy the lunches of pretzels and sliced fruit .
