I once went to pick up my bike after a tune-up to find they’d mounted new tires on there.
Only thing was, I hadn’t asked them to swap out the ratty, old tires even though the bike could have used some new rubber.
I was broke as heck and the tune-up was probably more’n I should have spent but this was from back before I started doing my own wrenching and the bike really needed the work. I tried to explain that I had not requested new tires be put on there and that there must have been some sort of mistake or mis-communication.
They assured me there was no mistake, held the door open for me and sent me on my way.
I don’t give them a hard time when they forget to adjust the seatpost height.
