Angry Oil overfill

//Newbee mode ON//
3000 mile oil change; went to J____ L___ since its 100 in the shade and its a black WRX. I registered my wagon as WRX 2.0 turbo so computer would tell "staff" what filter, how much oil, etc.

Bottom line: Bill said 5.0 qts - manual says 4.8. Asked about that and was told it varies with type of filter, droid says dip stick is OK. Drove home and check after letting it cool down a bit. Dip stick is about 1/4 inch above "F"!

Question: Should I panic? Should I drain the 1/4 qt out? Should I drive back (not)?

Yes, I know, I'll never use them again and will always change my own oil, probably using quick drain valve.

Thanks for your help!

Above the "F" dot in the dipstick is a notch- that notch is the mark for "full" when the oil is hot. You are fine.
