<Chandler voice> Could I roll my eyes ANY more?!?</Chandler voice>
So a regular customer of ours bought an old beater 96 Dodge 1/2 ton 4x4, that we've been resurrecting from the dead for him. It had an engine bay fire, and we replaced a whack of wiring, loom, vacuum lines, etc. Also fixed electrical issues, like toasted window switches and the like. It's running pretty good now, everything works again, it just needs tires & a windshield and it should be good to go.
Anyway, the customer calls me up at the shop today, he, as many of our customers, knows I'm "into" stereos and whatnot (I do have my trophies and certificates displayed in my showroom):
"So do you guys sell car stereos too?" He asked...
"No, call Tom at ARA."
"Well how about installing them?"
"Only when we have to. Why, you have an old stereo you want installed in it?"
"Well no, but I was gonna get one and wanted you to install it."
"Well... alright."
Me and my big mouth... [img]graemlins/jawdrop.gif[/img]
So he shows up at the shop a couple hours later, with a head unit, amp & install kit, and a sub box. All from XS Cargo.
"It was only $78!!! And it plays mp3's!"
"Oh goodie."

anytime anyone walks in my door with xs cargo garbage they are told that as a responsible retailer it would be against our mission statement to install a heinous pile of crap the likes of anything from xs cargo, and then i refer them to future shop because here in kelowna they will install anything
to separate people from their hard earned money to install a pile of crap is wrong, and we dont do it. i had a guy offer to pay us twice what we normally charge to install a cd player(45$), this guy was going to pay us 90$ plus parts to install a 69.95$ tape deck, i mean this guy double dosed on the stupid pills that morning
