A customer came in I gave her all the prices that we offer at Jiffy Lube. She didn't like the prices. I gave her all the discounts that we provide at Jiffy. Lube, she didn't like the discounts. So she wanted to leave before she left. She asked what is the price if i bring my own oil i told her the price. The lady was still insisting that prices was to high. I was about to get off work in an hour. I told the woman if she gets everything I could hrlp her out with whatever funds she had. Is that illegal
Hi ****, the legality of your actions may depend on your employer's policies and local laws. Could you please tell me your location to provide more specific information?

Hi ****, based on Florida law:
- Making a personal deal with a customer might not be illegal, but it may violate your employment agreement or company policy.
- Always follow your company's policies to avoid potential legal issues.
Check with your employer to clarify these matters.
My employer suspended me. They are doing an investigation. They see what I said was facts, on another note there was an co.plaint making it seem malicious
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, ****. In Florida, an employer has the right to investigate any potential misconduct. You have the right to present your side. If you believe you're being treated unfairly, consider consulting an employment attorney.
Thanks
You're welcome, ****. If you need further assistance or have any more questions, feel free to ask. Remember, it's always a good idea to seek professional legal advice in situations like this. Best of luck!
