yeah like "is this brake cable gonna cost me 13 bucks?" because if i would have asked that question and gotten the answer "yes" i would have just walked out.

instead it went like this.
"i need a brake cable, about 60 inches long"
guy goes out and cuts the housing from a large spool of basic, cheap houseing (no special teflon lined "slick" cable, not even a cool color, just a large spool of Inline brand cable)
"ok sir that is is one cable, $3, and 5' of housing at $2 a foot, that is #13, and we will throw in some free cable ends"

wtf!!!

free cable ends, wow, that almost made it worth it. i hate this bike shop but it is so close to me i dont know what to do.
