Yeah it can become a nightmare if the shop owner is actually the club himself. It happened to an old mate of mine all the other club/teammates wanted to support his new bike shop but also wanted mates rates on everything and expected to be able to pop in at any time and queue jump the mechanics job sheet.
In my experience, cycling club members are usually the tightest customers unfortunately, always after discounts, and far too 'clued up' from all the forums/internet research/cycling friends etc to take sound advice from lowly shop workers
