It was 6pm. They weren't closing for another two hours. There was one other customer in the shop. The mechanic literally said to my friend as I was paying up in front: "I don't wanna get started now because this is when EVERYONE comes in wanting to get stuff done." This was after my friend explained that it was my first new bike and that I finally wouldn't be borrowing his anymore. Again, this dude was just sitting on his ass looking bored. Of course this was just one mechanic, I'm sure there are many there who are of the less ******y variety.
Liberty finished my bike in 25 min. I showed up 5 minutes before closing. They had a customer in there buying a bike at the same time. For those eager to ish on the supposed noob who doesn' know how to adjust his brakez, the point was not that I don't know how, but rather a bike shop that told me it would take a few days to set my bike up once it was delivered, couldn't be bothered to send it out with brakes that weren't rubbing in the first place. Then as I was walking out it was "Well we probably won't be seeing much of you as you won't be needing any maintenance really, with a fixed gear." I said, "EXACTLY!". I mean they could have shown a little more courtesy and had a repeat customer or at least referals but they saw no real future dollars in me so couldn't care less. I'm sure if I bought one of their Orbeas instead it would have been a different experience.
