About an hour ago a lady called. She was locked out, and asked where I was. She then said it was too far, and she would try and find someone closer.
I just called the number back, an hour later, to check everything had gone ok. She has been stitched right up. A three figure sum has already been extracted from her, for a simple gain entry, via credit card, and the national call centre has already told her it will be a two hour wait! (So I’d still get there faster, leaving now…)
Please, please, support the local genuine locksmith! The prices from us are lower, I love the job, and I won’t keep you waiting for two hours.
I doubt I’ll ever find out how long she will wait, unless, of course, they simply cannot find anyone at all to cover the work in such a remote area. Then she might call back – though the pre-payment kind of means she is stuck with it…
