> Store name pls

Majority of small "mom & pop" stores in the Portland area. I won't name names, because I've been to more with this attitude than without. I also won't list what small mom&pops that don't have this attitude, as that is my secret and I don't want them getting attention (hint: Google maps/reviews is a pretty good guide to determine this.)

The larger stores are actually somewhat better about this, but they have a Sales focus rather than 1-on-1 service.

..and this is why I intend to remain anonymous so your scum of the earth won`t pollute my precious PDX Bike Stores...which I am entitled because I went to college and have money and which you receive with your filthy little hands at a shitty job, which is so not similar to mine.

Working a blue collar trade doesn't yield much money, or any entitlement. It yields back breaking labor for a shit wage, and tolerating extensive bullshit from excessive bureaucracy. If you want the money I bust my ass to earn, treat me like a human being. That's your job. Heavy, dangerous labor and hazardous materials are part of mine. Suck it up, little soldier.

Hollywood Bikes is the least pretentious and most reasonably priced new bike shop I've ever been to in Portland. Just sayin.

If you have such intergalactic mechanical skills fix it your self! It's not being impolite by telling you that your shitty bikes is not wroth fixing up. The labor spend on a worthless shit bike is time taking away from people who actually took care of their bike. Don't waste their time with your rust-a-bust bike. Buy a new bike or fucking make one if your so mechanically gifted. I know those skinny jeans looked damn fine on him. Go back to your abandoned warehouse if you can't take the heat in a bike shop.
