This... My fit has already been pitched in the original post. I think the mech/ sales guy was talking to the owner or manager on the phone who told him not to make the sale. Pretty easy not going back since it is an hour away. I could have stopped at a walmart on the way home and picked up some there but was trying to help out the LBS.
ETA: If he would have cut me the 5 feet I originally asked for, I would have only wasted about 6 inches.
