Bravo.. that's great.
On the contrary.. This isn't uncommon. The lube companies are notorious for just cross threading the oil plug back into the oil pan. They are also notorious for leaving them off or extremely loose and results in total engine failure after a few miles. I recently just chatted with someone at the local lube place and they had to replace two engines over the past few months.. just for this failure to tighten or insert back etc.
He said he's had the truck's oil changed more than 300 times. It's had so many changes that the oil pan drain plug had to be rethreaded several times, he said, and "you never hear of that."

Happened to me. I was working for a national rent-to-own company in 1992-3 while in college. I was driving the newly serviced cube truck when, after about 10 miles, it stalled on a bridge between Florence and Rogersville, Alabama. This was pre-cell phone days, so I walked about a mile up the road to a gas station, called the store, and the tow truck came out. Turns out the oil plug had fallen out somewhere along the way and it drained, and the engine blew. It was in the shop for a month. I got chewed out for it as if it were my fault. And, then I went to work for another RTO company (I spent 5 years doing that before and during college), and told them to shove it.
