Don’t Drive to Tower Rd. – Whitepath is Open!

Fetchyournews.com stopped by the Whitepath Convenient Center today to see how things were going. We spoke with Mr. Billy Helton and he told us that as of 5pm he had receipts for $58.00 for the first day. He said for the most part things went smooth. He felt once people got used to things it would work out fine.

Mr. Helton explained that he touches no money and does not have a key to the box. He was told the Sheriff’s Department would retrieve the funds.

FYN observed that the center still had a few things to be completed. The center has not yet placed signage explaining price and procedure. We also noticed the measuring device still needs to be placed to determine the bag charge. But no major changes need to be made and nothing that a little time and organization can’t correct.

Whitepath Convenience Center – Open for Business

Fetchyournews.com wants to remind everyone to please be patient with all the hard working employees at the convenient centers while the new system is being implemented. Remember this is being done on a trial basis and is a change for all involved.
