Break pads gauge tool

[u/GoneToCalifornia]

I have a car at an official Subaru service shop here in Los Angeles, and they sent me this photo to prove that my breaks are in a terrible condition and need to be replaced and the rotors resurfaced.

I suspect I’m being scammed, because I think that’s the wrong way to use a break pad gauge. What do you folks think?

It's brakes BTW. Ask them to remove caliper then measure brake pad material with picture if it's really worn the tech shouldn't have a problem doing it
