“She was working the day before memorial day on a Sunday evening. I asked her if she loved the game of basketball she said yes. She has not picked a ball up in years, but got hurt actually playing basketball and never picked the ball up again. She was very friendly. We had a conversation about life, really appreciate these moments when you can meet somebody like this and hear a little bit of the story. She has a beautiful smile and represents the store very well. I should remember her name, but unfortunately, I was extremely tired and went to bed and forgot to do the review lol sorry but anyhow, I'm bragging about her way to go, especially in the city of Cleveland Hier people aren't friendly here sometimes. She grew up in Las Vegas. God bless America. 1712 hours welcome to the real world the city of Cleveland some broad in there had to ask me eight times about my refill cup. Then she interrupts me as I'm almost ready to leave and says did you have more than one refill for the time I have a 44 ounce refill , no one ever acts. I have a 73 foot truck. It is very difficult for me to pull over and you made it compounded worse made my day rough and bad. I get sick and tired of traveling this country bring goods and services to people and then get treated like this when I try to get a refill that makes me not have to pull over for a while , it's a 44 ounce refill for the eighth time pick your bottles city, trash attitude.”
