10-Speed Humiliation

So, I got my new bike. It hasn't been shifting right. And then, I was on a ride yesterday and one of the screws came out of my cleat and I lost it. so today after work I head to the bike shop. while the guy is fixing my gears I mention a replacement screw. we chit chat the whole time he's fixing the bike. Well, he finishes up the adjustment. I ask him how much i owed him. He told me ten bucks, or i could come back and visit. I told him whatever he wanted.  So he told me just to tell all my friends about the shop. I told him i would tell everyone. I knew he had forgotten about the screw so as I was walking out I just asked..."and how much do I owe you for the screw?" he looked at me so perplexed not sure what I was talking about. I just thought he forgot about it. after a few seconds he was like "oh, right." then started looking for hardware. It wasn't until 20 minutes later I was in my car driving and I realized what happened. I have been laughing about it all day. And, to continue with my promise....Wasatch Bike Support on 2300 East and like 2700 South in Salt Lake. The guys were super cool. It's in this awesome coffee shop, that has awesome juices. They didn't make me feel stupid, even though I was asking really basic questions and they really know their stuff. Plus, they didn't even crack a smile as i totally made the most inappropriate, but awesome, pass at them.
