funny customers

So this nice woman brought in a key to be copied the other day, it was an SC1, only it was a Baldwin Bow key, for those of you that don't know what a Baldwin bow is, it's a key that is mostly only identifiable by a locksmith or someone in the know, they have a rather large bow and and don't resemble any OEM blank, (I don't know much more about them than that so if any experienced want to ellaborate please do!) SO she want's it duplicated so I dupe it on an original SC1 blank, she just sort of stares at me, looks real close at them, pays and leaves! She thinks that it may be wrong I guess because they don't look the same, I explained it to her she didn't really act like she believed me, they must have worked, she hasn't been back.

That is one of my favorite when a customer holds up his key with the one I just cut him and looks at it!! WTF people are just stupid, enough said!!! Like he or she can tell if it is .00000000001 off but holding them up next to each other!!! Then I get someone who says it feels kind of rough, I purposely feck his key up, sorry, that is how I roll. It gets so old after years and years and years of people "knowing" more than me, that has been doing this for 16 years. I love the shite, I will buff it and throw the cuts into the grinder and say there ya go, give that a try. Feck em all, I am going to work at McDonalds where I can cum in their fat ass burgers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That happens a lot at the store...customers always check the keys like they would really know the difference!! I've never had a problem with any of the keys I cut unless somehow I goofed on the blank.

I had a customer get really upset the other day because I didn't have a Yale branded key to make his copy on. I was able to copy it on a KW1 but he was really upset that I would not special order Yale branded keys for him to have one copied. I told him that locksmiths in Vegas probably had them and so he was going to travel the 100 miles to go and check.

Thats dumb, we can get the original blanks, but they do usually cost more, and that name stamped on there doesn't really help the key work any better, people are so wierd.

To the customers defense, I have seen keys cut at places like Walmart where even a untrained half blind eye could tell that the key was cut badly. (i know they are all cut badly, still some are amazingly bad, things like the blank not fully inserted. and the wrong holder cartridge)... kept a set around for years where the clerk had actually cut the wrong side of the key!

Baldwin keys are just an SC1 with a big bow that says Baldwin...usually stores will charge 4-5 bucks for a copy made on the original blank.

Liar.

I happen to know the McDonald's menu quite well..and there is no such thing as a "Fat Ass Burger". However, they do have an "Anus Deluxe Burger" that I'm just a little bit leery of.

I have a lot of customers who cut the keys at big box stores like Walmart, HomeDopot, Rona etc, and the keys are cut wrong. I do not boast that I have not cut any wrong key yet, but I can also make error, and most of times, error I or my wife make (mostly my wife) selecting a wrong key. The keys cut in these big box stores are not cut by speciality key cutters but just 9 $ an hour guys, who literally know nothing about key cutting. I have a good customer base who are dissatisfied by the big box stores

I just laugh at customer when they try to check the key cut by me and start talking about what they know nothing

I've seen the high school kids at the hardware store put a key in the machine upside down...lol
I'm guilty of reversing the blank and the cut key, but caught it before...

Ilco makes a copy that looks the same just does not say baldwin. The reason for the larger bow is to assist in throwing the bolt in a mortise case.

On topic, yes customers are always smarter than me no mater how long I've been doing it. I kill them with kindness and sarcasm. Usually they only sense the kindness. Funniest thing about it is that I've gotten more tips.
