My wife dropped off 3 pairs of black loafers a couple weeks ago. Today, I go to pick them up. New heels and soles, rather average shoes, not Italian, not expensive.\r
\r
The bill: $185 - which is more than the shoes, all three pairs - cost new.\r
\r
I was stunned. This should cost maybe, tops, $30 a pair.\r
\r
The owner smiled, said I should have asked first and then wished me Happy Holidays.\r
\r
I'll never go back. \r
\r
Now you know.
