Ouch, but they do. I have / had, not sure which is which anymore, a long term loyal cutomer of a certain LBS, the guys had always charged me a pound a cable plus the cable ends and what not, sometimes for free depends on who I speak to. All of a sudden, last time they wanted £4 a cable and when I said to them I had always paid a pound a cable and even Evans wants less for the same thing, they would not budge and told me £4 is the price for a cable. I went to another not so local for me LBS in central London that I had only visited a handful of time, they gave them me for free. So I put money in their beer box instead.
I was also charged £3 a cable from another LBS last year when I paid around £1000 for a new F+F plus parts and labour to build the bike up... Still my LBS for now...
