Well not motorcycle related hence in rant or rave.
Went into the bicycle shop today. (cycle express panmure)
Backstory is i had gone in there last week and bought a new front tyre and thier last inner tube.
Riding along today on the mighty BMX of doom (kawasaki green of course) i start hearing the tyre loosing air, ahh bollocks, sure enough a hole in tyre.
So cycle express being local i returned to buy another tube (hoping they had ordered more since me buying thier last one the week prior)
So after sitting there for a few minutes while he helps another customer (fine by me i had time)
Me: "Hi i was wondering if you have any 20 inch tubes for my bmx please" **with tyre sitting there going PISHHHH loosing air at a reasonable rate**
Him: "I don't know"
Me: "Well ahh could you look" **noting the rack with all the tubes is within arms reach behind him**
Him: "I'm running out the door in 2 minutes i can't be bothered sorting it"
Me: "Okay then" **heads for the door**
Him: "Hang on, what size is it"
Me: "Doesn't matter now"
Him: "I thought you needed a tube"
Me: "I do, but you were a rude c**t and i do not buy things from rude c**nts, i will take my business elsewhere in future"
Him: ":blink:"
Okay so in principle a mere tyre tube $9.50 worth, so he wasn't loosing big money, but come on, the principle of it.
I couldve sworn we used to have customer service in this country.
Rant over.
Keep up the top service cycle express.:oi-grr:
