there's 2 bike shops in my town. the one thats been there for 25 or 30 years(as long as i can remember) and my favorite shop thats only been around a little over 2 years. that guy is cool and digs all kind of bike.
the "other" shop i havent been to in years cause theyre snobs. if ya dont have a hi dollar BMX or hi end road bike they really dont care.
well last sun i went to "my" LBS to purchace a couple items. i got there kinda late and it was closed....so i thought well these are dumb small items, i'll drive across town to that "other" shop and see if they got 'em
well they did have the chainring fasteners, but it was the other item i wanted that was stupid...my fault.
i asked if they had"item X" and they(2 young guys)said they dont have them, that's just for department store bikes.
well that really burned my biscuits cause it was a schwinn that was sold at a bike shop. possibly that one :shock: before they were born of course :lol:
i didnt say anything smart. let it go like a gentleman i am 8)
but the more i think about it the more it cheezes me off.
i work in completly different industry(auto repair) and if my boss heard me talk like that to a potential customer i would get chewed out.
i have been told that guy wanted to give us $ and you ran him off!!
i dunno. maybe i'm makin a big deal outta nothin'.
i do know i wont be back there
