Title: Ever Thought About Being a Key Cutter?
Post by: Bungle on September 25, 2024, 08:24:06 pm
Went into Morrison's today to get a few bits plus I wanted to get some spare house and garage keys cut so I went to the Timpson's counter. £9 for one key and 50% off for any further keys. Give me 5 minutes the bloke said. He started waving over to me after 3 minutes. I'm now £30 lighter. Kinell.

I had my remote fob replaced a couple of months ago as my key ended up in the washing machine. £100 for 3 minutes work.

Then the same key cutter rocked up to a customer whose house I was cleaning a couple of weeks ago. One Tibby spare key cut for his 11 plate Transit van and programmed, £150 for 5 minutes work. We are in the wrong business.

Tell me about it! The actual graft we put in compared is unreal. Too late for me now.

I thought about being a lawn maintenance guy once, they say "the grass is always greener".

Key workers don’t generally get paid much.
