Yesterday, I was fixing flats on three different bikes. I went up to Robinson's and picked up some new tubes because the flats are all pin holes and I've never successfully repaired those. I fix one hole and another appears 3 inchs away. Nothing in the tire.

How would you know that the two tire bites are 3 inches apart if you
couldn't find anything in the tube? 
Hint: Snake and fang bites always come in pairs.

I order 3 28 mm tubes with 80 mm stems. We were busy talking about somebody's 120 mm stems and he pulled out the tubes, I paid for them and left. I got home snd discover they were 48 mm stems. Now they were bulk and I was looking at them so I had no one to blame but myself.

The first step to solving a problem is to blame someone.  Of course,
you can't blame yourself because that might be rather non-productive.
Perhaps you should buy a scapegoat toy for those occasions that demand
someone or something else be blamed.

"You can fail many times, but you aren't a failure until you begin to
blame somebody else".  (I forget where I stole that from)[1]

When I returned to the shop he had the correct tubes on the counter. He said that I should give him a bad review. I said I have "If I could find a better bike shop, I would go to it."

Maybe, but Robinson's is nearby and a shorter ride.

Flunky hates bike shops that are more competent than he is.

You really should buy a scapegoat.
