- SSSamantha Sánchez4 days ago5.0La verdad prefiero un lugar con regadera que con lavandería, es pequeño pero eso hace que lo mantengan muy limpio en general. Lo que me sorprendió fue la limpieza en las regaderas por primera vez no vi rastros de humedad ni residuos de cabellos de otras personas y con un olor neutro. Colegas camioneros hagamos lo que nos toca en los aparcamientos para que esto permanezca limpio y seguro para cualquiera que le toque llegar aquí. Saludos y bendiciones para todos.!!!

- DDDakotaOct 15, 20251.0why does a grown man think this is appropriate behavior especially at work?.......... I don't know the man working tonight that was using the golf cart ...male pilot worker went out to my fiance asked him to move he told the worker he was waiting on me then pilot worker threw up an attitude saying it was for trucks my man said a truck wouldnt fit there and then he said trailer uh that isnt big enough for a trailer (so which is it or are you just lying?) I see cars all the time on that side and its the only side with air for cars and thats at the pumps where i see cars a lot!! So what was wrong with us parking in a spot that no one else was parked near?when he realized my man wouldnt leave the worker came into arbies to find me! So he went out of his section and went into arbies where he doesnt work to cause a scene!!!i hope he feels tough being a creep and anger issues like that!!!He asked if the car was mine, I said yes then attitude started and he told me to have my man move and how he was being a problem. I told him if he was mean its cause you did something my fiance is a very nice man.we always parked there and never had a problem. He said well not on my shift im not going to get introuble for no one and i said you cant help if someone is being an ass and get introuble for that you cant control what people do and you had to cause a problem for him to be mean.he got all mad and walked away from me..like what do you expect?my man is so nice and i dont play around when it comes to my fiance.....pilot worker has a big attitude problem and is a creep with anger issues...we were regulars but now I never want to go again...I was shaking with anxiety cause this big dude was attitude galore and raising his voice at me..the arbies sweethearted cashier even asked if I was OK youre shaking cause she saw I was shaking from anxiety I said ya he had to do something for my man to be mean cause he's really nice and the parking spaces hes talking about definitely won't fit a truck. The arbies worker told me to use the side door cause she could tell I was scared..plus what creep finds the guys girl alone in a store? I don't control other people for one and 2 I'm a woman why are you confronting me? Let it go being parked for 10 or 15 mins won't hurt anyone and no one was parked over there either!!! I will never support this pilot again! This is how your workers treat people is absolutely not acceptable...I hope you run the cameras back from tonight around 1040-1050 pm the incident happened around then(i was in arbies with black yogas cowgirl boots and a red v kneck t shit)...truly scary for a man to be like that...he should not be working there..can't even talk to a woman nicely when he's mad over something so silly and throws attitude...
