Me: Can you remove my BB and headset cups please, i have already stripped the rest of the Bike down
Them: One minute, i will check the price for that - Hold - right sir that would be £150
Me: 150 quid, your having a laugh
Them: No sir - removal of the BB counts as a stage 2 service, which is £150 irespective of the works done
Me: Are you sure, its just a BB, no cranks to rmove etc etc
Them: Let me check with my manager - hold - yes sir that would be £150
Me: Thanks, you are the weakest link, goodbye
They have no clue in that shop - i once saw them charge a guy 20 quid to fix his rear brake, all that was wrong was that the V Brake had alipped from its cable guide, a 5 second job to do
however the MTB shop in Waterloo have always been good to me, and the staf know their shit
