>Buy a EUR 1000 jump bike in a store
>Both tires installed backwards
>All bolts on the rear dropout are loose
>Drive-side crank is loose
>Handlebars loose

Why are brick & mortar stores dying? Very odd, I don't even understand!

It's just as likely to be a management issue, ie, they want rushed builds, and don't give any oversight.

a minimium wage wagie could still easily be taught and coaxed into assembling a bike properly

They can’t even construct your McMeat well, friend, how can they be trusted to assemble a bicycle?

they cannot be trusted, but there is someone who might could be trused in there, the bike shack, and you can bust their balls and make them rue the day they did not oversee and enforce quality.

it was literally the show owner 'because he enjoys working on a vintage' which he proceeded to bend, scratch, crossthread and overtighten dry all over. why even open a bike shop if you're an incompetent retard who can't use tools properly? he could've refused service if he knew it was above his paygrade. only doing my own repairs from now on, obviously.
