Hostile staff All but push me out the door

One of the most unwelcome places I ve spent money in It was my first time cycling to work since the easing of lockdown restrictions It was great day to cycle in London Not cold or wet but not especially hot Was just right Did I say not wet Well London being London of course the rain will fall forecast be damned Only noticed my mudguard had vanished Thinking about I really could not say if it was on the bike on my cycle commute in to central London In any case it s can to live where so many other bits of my by has ran off to over the years It will be missed Trying to limit the amount of road muck on me I sought out the closest bike shop The London bicycle workshop was the closest I wanted to continue on to Cycle Republic where I originally bought my bike but it just want to get home out the rain The welcome by the staff was frosty to say the least As black man in London I m used to being followed and closely monitor as a prepare to hand over my hard earned money for the privilege There was a really nice set of mudguards that I wanted but I would rather swim in London road sludge than to give that much to a place like this Yes that s the one Simple Cheap Cool Swedish design at it s best Ass savers I ll take one Darn it It will be night before I get home and I need to replace my emergency back lights with some decent ones Oh they have the cat eyes had before Ok Add those At least fake a smile guy Customer service -10 Ill quickly put air in my wheel Fix the light to the bike Ffs I d be like to buy som triple A batteries Light done Now I did describe the mudguard as simple Design wise it most definitely is But fixing it beneath my saddle is a right faff and it seems I ve over stayed my welcome in the till now empty shop A young man hitherto I ve only seen glimpses of with hitler youth hair stamped over to where I was You need help You are taking forever I ve never done this before it s quite fiddly I m trying to flip the end to lock it in place Frustrated and wanting the shop I gave it to the gentleman next to me with the look hostility on his face I suspect he believes I m scaring his customers with brown skin skinny jeans and button downs I see them fall of many because people don t flip the back to lock Precisely what I was trying to do He locks it in seconds Look I did it in seconds Well done you I said My first attempt versus you doing it for a living I continued as I exited you must feel clever I sigh as a wave of regret washes over me I just gave these kn bs my money I m outraged
