LBS lost a customer

There's a local bike shop by my house I go to once in a while. I've bought my fair share of product there.

Anyhow, I go in the other day, asking if they wouldn't mind doing my measurements. I explained I was going to buy a track frame online. Instantly, the sales guy snapped on me.

He said something along the likes of, "You come in to my bike shop, asking me to fit you for a bike you're buying from someone else!?"

I reply, "Yeah, I'm not going to beat around the bush and lie to you."

The guy would not help me after this. He told me to ask the company I am buying from.

Long story short, sometimes asking to get fitted can cause some ****ing drama. With that ****ty attitude, its a wonder how they stay in business.

Anyone else had an experience like this? I was blown away.
