There is honesty, there is brutal honesty, and then there’s shooting yourself in the foot. Whoever changed the wording this oil change reminder sticker at the AutoMax in Pearland, Texas aimed a .50 caliber rifle at his sneaker and emptied the magazine.
It had been a few weeks since Ladonna Latham had her oil changed and wasn’t aware of a former AutoMax employee’s malice when, bored, she decided to read the oil change sticker. Stunned, she pulled over to make sure she was seeing correctly, then drove home and had her husband confirm it. Latham believed that she had been targeted by one of the employees.
According Max Manocheri, the manager at the AutoMax, a disgruntled former employee changed the phrasing in the computer system and several of the stickers were printed and ended up being used. Customers reacted in stride, though obviously shocked, he said, and he has apologized profusely to everyone affected, has offered to change the stickers and will offer a free oil change.
(And before you ask, no, there wasn’t an employee with a bag over his head working that day.)
