• Where would the rules be about calling your own your local bike shop (if they were open) to ask for advice? It’s likely that given they know who you are and are a proven customer they’re going to be a little more receptive to you calling up for advice.

    Mike covered that in one of his examples. If they give you the same service as anyone else its fine. If they stay open late just for you, it's not.

  • Yes, because they'd likely have done it for anyone.

  • But it's ok if a shop you don't know stays open for you?

    Yes, because the inference is that if they stay open for one person who calls up, they would do it for others.

    There was a shop in Adelaide last year who said in advance they would stay open for people who rang in ahead. Lots of us used them.
