When you get your oil changed, it’s common practice for the mechanic or technician to put a sticker on the windshield to help you keep track when the next oil change is due. But in Milwaukee, one mechanic at Kunes Buick GMC Dealership thought it was also OK to practice some gratuitous racism by adding the n-word to the sticker.
But shortly after the woman, Makayla Starks, left the dealership, the mechanic realized he just entered the FAFO zone and started to panic. That’s when things went from bad to worse:
From the drop-off to picking up her car, everything seemed routine. Soon after she left, however, Starks started getting phone calls that a technician misplaced a tool in her engine bay, and they needed to come retrieve it.
“Under those false pretenses they acquired my home address from me,” she said.
The technician told Starks they wanted to come out that evening.
“Before they had a chance to do that, one of (Kunes’) own employees reached out to me by phone call and text message telling me that there was no forgotten tool,” Starks said. “They were just trying to come and retrieve the proof which would be the oil change sticker with the racial slur on my windshield.”
