Good morning to all,     I have been working in a vending facility for two 
years and it looks terrible.  It is in desperate need of remodeling.  When 
I went to this location they promised that it would be remodeled and that 
my seating capacity would be increased along with some new 
equipment.  They said they planned to make it possible for me to cook full 
meals and they even wanted a salad bar.
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!
