I cannot define "Midwest values," but I have the gut feeling that this would be a better country if everyone observed them.
*****
For example, I assume that going the extra mile is a so-called Midwest value.
When I ask an employee at a store where I can find X, I am lucky if the s/he points and says, "Over there in aisle 4."
Occasionally, however, an employee will say, "I will show you, sir." S/he will then escort me to the aisle and show me X.
To me, such a helpful and friendly gesture is an example of Midwest values.
LOL...reminds me of a funny story. Was in a Walmart few weeks ago, they're pushing the self serve check outs, a couple of cashiers were open but had maybe 6 people in each line. Got to the cashier and asked whatever happened to customer service. He looked at me and in all seriousness said, "oh, customer service is over at the front of the store".
Funny, but Customer Service is at the front of the store.
