| Firestone stores at 11865 w 95 overland park ks 66214 and one at 7575 wornall rd kansas city mo 64114 are falsifying dot registration on over 90% of tires sold. process used is that a fictitious number that has the right series of characters is used on all tire invoices regardless of size or type. this is also entered into the computer which accepts the fictitious number as long as the character string is long enough. the number is given to new hires as it was me when i started and when i reported this to superior i was fired. over a period of 1 month over 700 tires were sold in this fashion and no other employee saw the problem with the policy other than to say they did not want to lose their job. *nm | |||
