Everyone is free to express there opinions about something. That is what free speech is all about and Mr. Riley has expressed his about my one line MYSPACE comment about vicodin and that I work for Petro. There is nothing on my MYSPACE page that promotes drugs; there use or that I use drugs. There are no pictures or other comments about drugs. There is no correlation between the comment and my working for Petro. This page is just what it is a place to meet with some of my friends, post pictures to share and show off the stores that I run. I am proud of the work I have done at Petro. I run two of the busiest Convenience Stores in the company. If my comment has offend someone or will cause someone not to go to Petro because of it then for that I am sorry it was never meant for that. It is my hope that those of you who visit my MYSPACE page can see that.
Sincerely,
Wayne Hensley

Wow I cant believe people are so wrapped in in the myspace thing that they believe everything that is there is true. DO you really have that much time on your hands to just look for stuff like a line that says "I live for vicodin" and come write about it.I agree with the managerI looked at the site and saw no correlation to drugs and petro. Furthermore if you say you are a trucker and have always had good clean service from this place why would that stop you now from going there just because of one comment some random person made. If in fact this managers "vicodin" use was such a problem that affect his work and somehow this brings the moral of the company down wouldnt you have seen the difference. It sound more like a disgruntled ex- employee who is tring to get back at his amnager. Because how convenient is it that this person knew the exact location of this place just by looking at a myspace page. I looked at the page myselp and nowhere did it specifically say wheeler ridge.it only says lebec,ca and it just says petro not petro stopping centers. Like I said get a life and stop trying to make other peoples life miserable. peopel it is just "myspace" not the bible its where people are able to expreess their rights to "freedom of speech" The company is obsured if they take this myspace thing seriously and try to punish a manager who has his right to privacy amd free speech.

First of all let me say that if there wasn't anything wrong with the general managers page then why was he so quick to change it. He obviously knew what he did was wrong he just didn't care. And not once did he ever say if he was even prescribed the pills or not. I would think not because if he was prescribed the pills he would have made it a point to say that they were prescribed to him. And another thing Nicky T. Honey it is obviously that this man is either related to you a friend of his or your sleeping with him to. You and his other two supervisors. Did he have you post a comment. Really though because it doesnt seem like you really know what your talking about. I workin the same store as him. He is my boss and he gets a way with a whole lot. I'm just surprised hes finally getting what he deserves.

Let me answer your questions Cindyb1. I changed my page because it was requested that I do so. So I did. I did nothing wrong. The comment had nothing to do with my work. Any medication that may have been prescribed to me is no one business but my own. I do not know who Nicky T is but I thank them for there comment. I did not ask anyone to post any comments here. If you work for me why hide behind a female alias when I am just guessing from what you have written you are a male. Since the way this is written is the way you come across when you talk. I am pretty sure I know this is and if I am wrong please let me who you really are I am sure everyone would like to know. What I deserve is to be left alone to do my job which is what I am still doing despite this posting so if that is what you meant by me getting finally what I deserve. THANK YOU I will continue to Manage my stores and you as I always have. Wayne
