How to suggest to your LBS to clean-up - literally?

[Shepherd]

Get Gordon Ramsay to go in there and sort them out...

 

Doesnt have to be a kitchen for him to sort out messy places....

 

Besides would make for entertaining TV for a change....

Sounds like the local Cajee's shop!

Nah, I am not naming them. Don't want to shame them. Just want them to improve the shop. I don't like digging around in a box looking for tyres...

 

And it seems that this is happening at many small LBS.

 

And I don't have the time to go and organise the shop for them. They are 4 guys - surely their health allows them to do it themselves.

 

The place has enormous potential, but then again, changing people are a fruitless endeavour.

 

I do not know, maybe I will go to the owner. Don't want to approach this in a juvenile manner.

Weirdly, I find something quite interesting in having to dig in boxes for parts. It's like a big old treasure trove. My friend has a bike shop - it started off all designer and neat, 'till some **** put muddy shoes on the chair, and then more bikes started coming in than the shop had space for and people didn't collect them in time, and then a whole stack of spares came in from another defunct bike shop, etc etc. In truth though, I think it's maybe just 'cos the owner prefers riding to mucking about with dusty stuff in his spare time.

Offer to buy the place from him and sort it out yourself

I do that at my local Cajees. They have boxes of nearly new bits that they take off when they fit new stuff to people's bikes. I've found some good stuff there.
