1. Have you ever been to this shop before? If so, did you buy anything? If you bought something what was it?

I'm not saying that the shop owner was in the right, I just want to make sure I hear the full story before I agree that this shop owner is a peter.

I have been working in a shop for a little more than a week and you'd be surprised how many toolbags come in asking to feel something that I know they will never buy. I am in the middle of truing a wheel and I get asked to pull out every shiney part in display cases. If you came in the store asking about the shoe sale, hassle the owner, then want him to drop what he's doing to get some shoes to put your feet in cause you think they're pretty, then quit *****ing.

I don't think it is said enough. Have some shop etiquitte. Bike shops are not the equivalent to malls for middleschoolers.

On the other hand, if you really were in there looking at shoes and ask about some shoes you were possibly interested in, don't be too quick to judge. 5 chumps may have been in the last hour to try on **** without buying anything. Then again maybe the shop is worth boycotting


2. I agree with TIP. Bikes are worth showcasing even if space is limited.
