PJS, yeah you have to be a complete cunt to stiff people that cant sort it out for themselves.
But most fall into the dumb/lazy catargory.
If i was to fix tyres all day long I wouldn't sell to many bikes. If my mechanic was to spend the day fixing punctures he wouldn't fix the bikes that have been booked in and the shop would go out of business.
If all is quiet on the shop floor n people are polite most days punctures get fixed for a packet of cocolate hob nobs or a few ice creams (depending on the weather).
If people don't want to pay the £10 labour n we're quiet they get one free lesson from then on they're on their own.
