Parents with young kids, 2+2 coming into the shop, kids running around as if it is a playground.
Firstly, it's not an arcade where kids get in free, it's 4, not 2 + 0.
Secondly, we are a shop, not your home where they can run around and do as they like (speak volume of home schooling, lockdown or not...) 'They've been locked up for so long, they should be be able to have some freedom'.
FINALLY don't tell us 'You understand the rules BUT kids will be kids', rules are rules and you need to take some parenting lessons and not try to justify the unjustifiable.
Privileged? Yep.
Don't even get me started on those who think they can jump the queue just because they wanna:
Ask a quick question.
I've booked a slot so I'm just dropping off the bike.
I'm just picking up.
Lastly and the best of all;
'I've just built this bike, it's new so it's fine, can you check if it is ok?'
Me: We'll look at it as soon as possible, 2 to 4 days, no promises and a PDI/Bike build is £35.
'WHAT?£35 and I have to leave it here? It's just a few bolts...'
