I don't know which shop that went to, but sometimes this is the case with wheels, I normally draw the line at three broken.
It's not the cost of the spokes (80p each), but if it's an old wheel and the spokes have broken through normal wear and tear then their is a good chance that the rest of the spokes are either seized or weak. At the end of the day, did you want to spend £15 pounds to have your wheel usable for a matter of months, or a new wheel that will work for years that won't cost much more than £30?
