This style of dipstick is terrible to read accurately.

I'd recommend getting some 120 grit sand paper and sanding a cross hatch pattern onto both sides of the stick. This will help "grab" oil in the right places to give you a more accurate reading.

I always check it twice... flipping the dipstick each time so I get a reading on both sides.

If you are still concerned, take it back and have them correct it.
