EIELSON AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska -- The Eielson commissary is scheduled to undergo renovations Sept. 23 and will be open for regular hours by Sept. 25.
The Customer Service department will be stripped of the current registers and replaced with newer models.
"The biggest change is not so much the registers themselves, but the process and speed of the transactions," said Melissa Krol, Eielson commissary secretary.
She said there will be two self-scan registers and five personnel-manned registers.
Personal checks will be electronically debited at the time of transaction and given back to the customer. Furthermore, debit and credit transactions will be quicker and paperless.
"With the new features, there will be no break in service to our patrons, the process will start and finish during our off days," said Mrs. Krol.
The commissary is open during the following hours: Sundays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Tuesdays, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Wednesdays through Fridays, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
