Default shall i leave it?

i went to get the paint mixed for the bike after work and got to the paint shop about 4:45. Before i'd even said what it was that i wanted the 2 bloke's behind the counter said "you've come at a crap time we're closing at 5, you wont get any paint mixed now!" so i said "alright, yeah that's fine, if i give you the code can you mix it tomorrow and me pick it up in the evening".

so i gave them the code then asked them to chuck some 2 pac lacquer, epoxy thinners, another can of primer on the deal, I hadn't even been there 5 mins and they both were being really arsy and blunt with me and i was getting a bit peed off with them and calmly said "what's with the attitude's, do you want my business or what?" to which i got a blank looks, asked them just to box it all up and then offered to pay for it all then so i could just pick it up tomorrow but they declined my offer and i left the shop in a mood

i said i was going to phone tomorrow before i leave work to check if they had done it so i could pick it up, they have none of my details or any money so im thinking of leaving it, i couldn't really give a crap if they mix it now i wasnt going to use them anyway so thinking of leaving them to it

Yes, you should still buy it! Just because they were moody still doesn't give you the right to screw them over. Just don't shop there again. If their unfriendly attitude annoyed you then you should have left the shop before placing the order.

sterling customer service you got there mate.

i'd go back just before they close, waste a lot of their time and then when they have rung it up say "you know what, i think i'll leave it actually. You guys are just to desperate for my money and i dont like that" and then just walk out

Go back pay for it, pick it up and paint your bike. Never shop there again after that.
