I'm all for supporting the LBS, but I sadly am done

Thread No offense but you guys jacked this thread, move it to the other room.

Tire It was stealing, he knew, which gave him intent, specific intent to defraud, guilty as charge.

LBS You all seem to miss the fact that the LBS makes more money from mr and mrs Smith buying Timmy his first $1500 mtb, than from you and your RD bracket, or even you weekly trips to LBS fro tubes, tires and GU. I would also be curious how often you really frequent the shop, I know everyone in my LBS because I think it is courteous to show them I have interest in them and what they do, who knows I might even learn something When I need help they are often more compelled to help me out because, and besides I’m just a nice guy and like to know people. Put it into perspective, however with that said I would take the time to bitch all the way to the owner. Monkeys with wrenches are just trained monkeys that is all, but even monkeys should be shown respect at times. Do your own work, you will be happier.

A couple of questions:

  1. Why is it that whenever there is a thread about negative experiences with a company or product or LBS some people feel they should put their positive experiences in the thread? Can’t we have a thread to vent and can’t those people simply start one to praise?

  2. A question for those calling the tire guy a thief: Do you think it is ok when the store takes too much money for a product and does not fix the mistake? Isn’t that the same as paying too little?

  3. Because there are two sides to every situation.

  4. No.

  5. Yes, but this thread and others are only about one side. It’s not an argument, but a chance to vent. Had the OP asked for both sides that would be a different story.

  6. Exactly

I disregard ANYONE who worships a work of fiction.
Priest, Minister, Rabbi, Sheikh, etc… they are all the same to me.

Christopher Hitchens: “What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof.”
So the answer to the basic question of “The only morality that counts is your own” would be a yes. Thanks for clarifying that.

Well, I believe I did say that I respect the views of a judge … It’s your mind that sees morality as a religous issue.

Moral: of or relating to principles of right and wrong in behavior.

If you need religion to tell you what’s right or wrong that’s your issue.

The funny thing is that all those religions (those that share a priest, a rabbi, or a minister) can factually prove that Jesus-the basis of religion did in fact exist. It is a historical fact. You cannot deny that. So, then you have to decide was he a liar, a lunatic or truly LORD. Maybe you should check into the book “The case for Christ” it is about a man who was an atheist who set out to prove how God and Jesus are worthless and a myth (among other things) yet when he researched it more, he came to a totally different assessment.

Like a previous poster said. I hope you don’t teach that to your kids. NO wonder our wourld is so messed up and our schools too. “Crazy APples Crazy Trees”.

You must be joking!

actually stores make way more money doing the tire and gu sales and stuff. Just like car dealerships. I have worked at both. Car dealerships make big bank on oil changes and brake jobs. They are quick and easy-and can do both at the same time (you know what I mean)

Bike mark ups are not that big.
