What is the sentiment of the following review?
I went into this place yesterday. I walked in and the guy at the counter couldn't even bother to lift up his head, then he mumbles "what can I do for you". I tell him I was looking to get my handlebars raised as they aren't comfortable. He says nothing. I then ask if that's possible and he looks and says "nope, you'll need a whole new stem". I ask him if he thought it was worth it and he says "it's up to you". Nothing else. No advice, no close look and no explanation. I ask him what it would cost. This guy looked so hassled. After getting up and looking at the bike he then explains why the one I have can't be extended. He then goes to the back and comes back with two parts, an extender and a stem. He puts some info in the computer and says it would be about $60 + some labor. I asked if I had any other options, if there were any other stems he knew of that could help that may be more affordable and all got was a "nope". I sat there considering for a moment and asked when it could be done. He says not until next Tuesday. I made an appointment but decided to look around a bit more at some other shops. I took my bike to the Slippery Pig on central. Talk about a different world all together. Much more laid back and friendly. I was welcomed as I walked in and directed to the back of the store. I was told I would likely have to order a new stem but it was fairly inexpensive. I was told to go to the counter and I would be helped as I approached the guy from the back ran back up front and said they do in fact haf the stem in stock. Cost $19.99. Labor $12. Less than half price! The guy at Landis couldn't even offer me any alternatives or suggestions. I'm new to riding and using my bike to commute to work so I imagine i'll be using the Slippery PIg quite a bit. Think about that.....HALF THE PRICE.
