My nearest bike shop is only servicing bikes bought in the shop. They introduced this before Covid.

Isn't this self-defeating? Why would they refuse a service instead of charging more? I expect to be able to buy a bike online and the shop assembles and adjusts it for me (of course for a price).
I'm assuming they had a stream of cheapskates in the shop who expected high levels of service without spending any money.
