I get that, but when he said I took it to mean "in to" a reputable shop. There is no way he could have expected this hack job.
OP, you should still out the guy who did this.
Well, then, somethings rotten in Denmark, because there should have been some tell-tale signs somewhere. A reputable owner of any shop wouldn't have allowed something like this to go out the door.
Let's say the shop owner, who has been in business for awhile hires his nephew to work through the summer because his Sister is all up into his shit about how her son needs some influence from another male seeing as how her old man ran off with the babysitter, and left her and the kids to fend for themselves. And, just for the record, Sis has been colder than a week-old bucket of piss, so who can blame him.
Anyhow, the kid goes to work and low and behold his first job is to replace the ferrule on Cesar's shaft. He (the kid) figures what the hell, I've seen Unk do this before and off to work he goes.
Now remember, Junior here, only has the use of one hand. His other hand has a smart phone in it and between playing Call of Duty II, and texting his girlfriend Jennifer, he's damn near disabled.
So, he gets done with Morales shaft, shows it to his Uncle, and says: "What do you think? Not too shabby, huh?"
After shitting all over his Gorton Pantograph Model 3, he looks a the kid, smiles, and says good job son. Why don't you go get some lunch. The kid walks off, grinning from ear to ear.
Now here's where things go from bad, to worse. Our friend Cesar walks in the shop at just that very moment and sees the guy holding his shaft (cue shaft). Cesar says, "Hey, dude, you got it done. Great."
The guy hands him the shaft with the screwed to hell ferrule, and says: "No charge."
Morales says: "This is my lucky day.", and walks out of the shop.
That's why I say they're both at fault. :smile:
