Dude, That Must Be Some Strong Weed
(It is the early 1970s. I make a key for a guy who lost his car keys in the mall parking lot.)
Me: “Well, that will be $10.00 for the key and labor, but another key will be only 79 cents.”
Customer: “Ah, no, man, I need my money to get my weed.”
(A week later, same deal. I have to go out in the rain and make the same guy another key.)
Me: “Well, I’m sure that now you will get an extra key?”
Customer: “Ah, no, man, I need my money to get my weed.”
(I could spot a trend, so I made another key anyway and hung it up in the shop. Over the next six months he was back a dozen times. Each time I just copied the key hanging in the shop and charged him for the lock-work and the key. He never bought a second key. I guess the weed finally got him.)
