Sorted out, sort of
After yesterday’s unpleasant end to the afternoon at the Vakantiefietser, I returned today with a clearer head about the bicycle that I wanted, and also to talk things over with the guy in the shop. I didn’t want to get in any kind of argument with him, but rather just make it clear that I was not happy with how things went yesterday. It seemed that this was preferable to just letting it fester. In any case, he will lose a lot of sales if he keeps going this way.
I am really not very good at this sort of difficult situation, but it turned out fairly amicably. I explained that I was quite upset, he apologised, and hopefully that will be the end of the matter. And in about six weeks time, I should have my new bike!
