“My elderly wife stopped at Expressway in Sleepy Eye for fuel and a bathroom break on Dec 10. She inadvertently left her fanny pack in the bathroom and drove off. An hour later I get a call at home asking for her. The asst mgr. Ashley, was calling advising that she had found my wife's' belongings at the station. I contacted my wife and she returned to the store to retrieve her pack. I want to publicly thank Ashley for her actions in this situation. She could have not said a word and pocketed the cash involved and no one would have been the wiser. With all the negative things going on in especially Mn right now, it's easy to assume there are no honest folks left. Obviously that was not the case here. I don't have a clue as to how long Ashley has worked at Expressway but she obviously is one very honest and caring employee. We appreciate the perfect handling of this situation by Ashley. Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas. Roger Lueth Park Rapids, MN”
