James,

You are correct this story was aired on 60 Minutes among other news headlines a few years ago....however this is yet another new story.

I personally worked for this corrupt company...as a District Manager. The upper management was merciful...I could go on for hours. They would do anything to turn a profit...this has to be the fifth or sixth television investigation that I am aware of on Jiffy Lube and or Quick Lubes.

I recognized the District Manager attempting to lie to the reporter....boy was he in hot shoes. I bet he was on the phone with the Regional Manager. I dreaded having to attend the quarterly meetings in Omaha...where you would have to show your entire quarterly P and L statement to the Shareholders, Regional Managers and District Managers. If your numbers happened to be down over prior year you were mercifully scrutonized by the Shareholders in front of your peers....and this meant that your replacement was being flown into your town shortly.

If you or anyone you may happen to know frequents a local Jiffy Lube....I strongly advise you to show them this footage. Perhaps you or they may be there next victim.

Dan.
