A guy stud up and said can i help u, i said yes told him my problem and told me to call the person working who was covering my fleet mngrs fleet that weekend.I call him he cant help so i said i guess im suppose to stay here and starve and he kept telling it wasnt his problem. SO i told him i was goping to call the cops and tell them they were holding me there against my will .That got their attenion! his name was(stan jhonson).
So they calle(joe self) operations manager i spoke with joe and he told me that the shuttle van could take me to cash my check. I asked joe why it took for them to call him on his cell phone at his house on a sunday and i had to curse to dispatchers out and bang on the wall and threaten to call the cops to get help . HE told me he didnt know.
