Rip Off

[cowboy]

So the ariel lead for the UHF radio in my ute had a break in it so in I went to the local radio/phone kit/GPS store and asked to have it joined. They agreed and asked me to bring the car round the back, no worries. Ended up pulling some more lead from under the dash and soldering a new fitting on the end (fitting supplied by me). All up maybe 5 min work. went in to pay the account and almost fell over when the girl says that'll be $47. I was stunned. I mean living in remote areas you always expect to pay a little more but holy crap, $47 for 5 min! That's about 560 bucks an hour! Remained calm (temper never wins in these situations) and after much discussion they dropped it to $27, still dear but i paid and left.

Any other blatant rip off stories out there?
