I use Valvoline for oil changes. While at Wingstop I said an employee IN UNIFORM get very loud and aggressive with a white customer who allegedly looked at him. 1. Threatening elderly citizens because they look at you is very immature! 2. While in your uniform you represent your company and that was not a good representation of the Valvoline brand. 3. If that’s what sets him off he doesn’t need to work around anyone! As someone with years of media and public relations experience it’s never ok for an employee to act unseemly in their uniform!
