ππ¨LOCAL DEALERSHIP OWNER UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR OFFERING EMPLOYEE PRICING TO EVERYONE
MOUNT STERLING, OH β Authorities have launched an investigation into local dealership owner Jimmy Whittredge after multiple reports surfaced that he has been offering EMPLOYEE PRICING to people who are, in fact, not employees.
The investigation began after customers at Tom Whiteside Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Mount Sterling, reported receiving discounts typically reserved for dealership staff.
"I told them I didn't work there," said one shocked customer. "Jimmy looked me right in the eye and said, 'That's okay, you're getting Employee Pricing anyway.'"
Witnesses claim the practice has been going on for weeks.
"We've seen teachers get Employee Pricing. We've seen farmers get Employee Pricing. We've seen retirees get Employee Pricing," said one local resident. "At this point, I think the only qualification is having a pulse."
According to investigators, Jimmy is suspected of multiple violations, including:
βοΈ Distribution of Employee Pricing
βοΈ Excessive Savings in the First Degree
βοΈ Reckless Discounting
βοΈ Conspiracy to Help Customers Keep More of Their Money
When questioned about the allegations, Jimmy appeared completely unfazed.
"I built this dealership on taking care of people," Whittredge stated. "If Employee Pricing is available, why should only employees get the savings?"
Authorities have confirmed that despite the ongoing investigation, Jimmy remains on the showroom floor and continues to offer Employee Pricing to unsuspecting customers.
Residents are encouraged to visit Tom Whiteside Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Mount Sterling immediately and see the savings for themselves.
