>> Good morning to all, I have been working in a vending facility for two

>> my
>> seating capacity would be increased along with some new equipment. They

>> Obviously you can see from my comments that renovation never happened. 
>> The
>> place looks so bad I am ashamed to work there.
>> I had to hire employees and the place had to be thoroughly cleaned and 
>> that
>> cleaning took two weeks.
>> When I arrived at this location the vending machines were antiquated to 
>> say
>> the least. Some of those machines have been there since the 70's. They do
>> not work properly and much of the time they don't work at all. A lot of
>> time is spent opening the doors and assisting customers in getting their
>> products. The first day I came to work there I put in a request for new
>> machines. My food merchandiser was not functioning at all. Anyway this 
>> has
>> been the case for most of the time I have been there.
>> My miracle is the State of West Virginia self insures the state workers 
>> and
>> our people in West Virginia are the most obese in the nation.
>> I was asked to help this company to provide more healthy food for their
>> employees. After many discussions I explained that my location looked
>> uninviting and my equipment was not adequate for me to do the job 
>> properly.
>> Rehab was asked to purchase the equipment I needed and they said they 
>> were
>> out of money and could not do it.
>> Before I knew about the health food program I filed a grievance to get my
>> food merchandiser replaced. I was successful in getting the merchandiser
>> but was told we have spent enough on your location and we can't get 
>> anything
>> else for you.
>> The miracle is that a high ranking official in this state realized what 
>> was
>> happening and the state is remodeling my location.
>> They are painting the walls, replacing the tile, purchasing new 
>> furniture, I
>> will have seating for 45 people to sit and eat their lunch. They are
>> decorating the eating area, and I am getting a vending machine that pops
>> fresh pop corn. I am elated and it is a miracle from the Lord. I am so
>> thankful and I know it would not have happened if the Lord had not gotten
>> involved. Thank you Lord Jesus! Praise His Holy name!
