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!
