just don't accept the bike with poo on it.
if it hasn't been noticed when the bike comes in we phone the customer and tell them that we will be charging £15 for it. if they don't like that come and pick it up.
poo contaminated bikes always seem to be morning bikes aswel which means the thought/smell/stigma sticks with you for the rest of the day, like CK said you end up thinking it's still on you for ages after. :x
but there is nothing more funny when it happens to someonelse!!
then the chasing around the shop like playtime at school happens with "the lurghi hand"

It's not all shops that are too fussy about dung on tyres.
A lot of my current job is warranty handling - last week a dealer sent 2 UST tyres back as "bent bead" when they'd both been ridden over something that had made a small hole in them. One of them had a substantial amount of s..t on.
Now I know this is a retro forum so for those that don't know - tubeless tyres are a bugger to get on and off. And this one had been removed without being cleaned first.
But most dealers in this country will charge a punter £40 if a tyre has crap on it. Just as deterrent. It usually works.

Went to a bike shoppe [actually hes purly a wheel builder but they do everything else]
To have a CK fitted and needed the headtube reamed ,this shop is ay out in the country and takes about a 1hr to cycle there.
I went through every single muddy puddle or cow pat i could find and by the time i got there ,there was so much mud and poo clinging to every part of me bike it looked like i'd just done a 24h race.
nobody could work out how i got it so muddy on a well used route[ :roll: ]
left the bike mechanic grumbling for the rest of the day about 'folk not cleaning their bikes'
Normally when i take a bike to the shop its as clean as clean could be[bit proud,u know how it is ]and moan about his oily prints everywhere
Revenge is a dish best served pooie

ok enough of poo i think...............lets talk about cake or something......................you know what it's like trying to eat in a bike shop..............lucky to finish your sandwich by closing time...............well i used to employ the 'stuff as much into my mouth as possible technique'.....................and if the phone rang i would wait............or leave it............or if a customer came in i would just nod or shake my head till i'd finished.................seemed to work ok...............but one day i was about to put a whole pie in my mouth when a lady walked in ...........i couldn't stop myself it was going in (i was hungry) she witnessed the whole thing being pushed into my moderate gob and started pi**ing herself.................this in turn did not help my mastercating..............i was trying to laugh , breath , and eat at the same time..............she watched me like a circus freak till i'd finished and told me she often caught her husband doing the same thing.............i was really embarressed

Slightly off topic and unfortunately poo related but back in my landscape gardening days strimming dog turd was a weekly hazard, my record was three in a day, and I had to go home and change!!!
Still not as bad as having to strim the municipal garden where the tramps slept........and pooed in bags......only hit that once........ bleaurgh!!!
