Why sue?

They have your last paycheck as collateral.

Gee, can't imagine why you were fired with an attitude this great.
I was fired because I could not do master level tech work fast enough with my 2 years of experience and on top of that the service manager there is a complete retard.

They make no money at that dealership because they dont have any shop equipment besides a tire machine and brake machine so they don't upsell any services.

Their sales team sucks and the only time customers come back is for free oil changes and warranty work.

lol they need the 70$

I think its ridicolous.

I never heard of a job asking for uniforms back.

I have worked at plenty of shops and not 1 ask to return my uniforms besides this Moderator cut: snip did.

When I left they were i the whole financially.

I wanted people's opinion on this.

It can be a security breach if you have the uniforms after leaving. When I retired after 28 years I had to give back my name tag and all keys to the building. This is normal procedure for businesses.

Did you not read my last post. I said MASTER LEVEL tech work with 2 years of experience. This means no training, no help to pull the rear end out of titan or diagnose a problem with a bcm...

I can do that now that I have had formal training at the dealership that I'm at now but Moderator cut: snip just threw jobs at me .Their master level tech quit and they expected a LUBE technician to pick up the slack without any training
Moderator cut: snip
