We had a customer come in who needed a lot of work declined some very needed work to make the bike safe and instead wanted us to buy a very expensive brooks saddle and something else that wasn't needed and didn't make the bike safe. I think we eventually got him to do everything but the person talking with him the second time (or third time) should have declined the silly saddle and said approve the needed work, let's get that done and then we can get the saddle and other things.
There are uber cheap people everywhere. I used to work with a few. One guy would starve himself for more than a day before going to an all-you-can-eat restaurant so he would get his money's worth and gorge as much as he could.
