Business Puts Customer's Name On Sign, Asks Him To Pay Bill




A sign outside a Midas store along Route 94 near Hanover, York County, is seen by a lot of cars, and lately it's been generating quite a bit of buzz.


Quote from the article:

Diane Gelhard, the manager of the store, says the shop had no choice after numerous, unsuccessful attempts to collect $450 dollars from the Hanover man. The bill for car repairs was reportedly over a month past due. The dealership said they gave the man his car after he promised to pay.

"We thought we could get our money if we put his name up on a message board," said Gelhard.

The hard ball approach apparently paid off for the shop. When the dealership opened Friday morning, the manager found an envelope that was left in the overnight key slot.
