You can learn to do it yourself in the time it took you to drive one leg of the trip to the shop.
They're switching the cassette out manana.

They'll pop it on for me no charge though. They had the cassette at their other store and had to transfer it so I just left the bike there overnight.

The mechanic at the shop I took it to said he'd only ever seen this a couple of times, lol.

I've only broken one spoke so far (at below 170 lbs) but I dream of some day destroying other parts of my bike due to superhuman feats.

I tore a tooth off the cog on my singlespeed 29er last season during a climb. In one smooth motion I dropped my chain, ****ed my top tube and flew off into the bushes.
