Even a brand new chain won't show 0 on the Park chain checker. Anything near 75% and you should pitch it. I guess in theory the thinner the chain the sooner it would stretch, but I can't believe that after only 500 miles (regardless of how hard you ride) you'd need a new one. Not saying you're being scammed, but you might want to be present and accounted for when the chain gets measured.
