LBS lost a BLT

Went into my LBS to buy some spokes on my way back from picking up lunch. I set down my BLT to check out the spokes the mechanic handed me to look at. I was excited and said something like "thanks" and paid for them. Got out to the car and realized I forgot my sammy so I hustled back in there. No BLT. I got pissy and threw the spokes on the carpet. Then I picked them up and left.

This is why I refuse to buy from my LBS.

I go to Burger King instead.

Made myself a grilled cheese. Colby Jack, mozzarella, basil, some thin tomato slices...

So good.

Man, this happened to me as well. I gave those dicks what-for, then ordered my BLT online. I can now tell you from experience that mayo is bad news, even with 2-day shipping.
