WOW! Shop refused to

bleed my breaks. I wanted a full fluid exchange so I took it into a shop. They bled them after I had installed a new MC but did not get all the air out so I made an appointment for today at 8am and went back. The guy at the counter was nice but he said the mechanic, "refused" to bleed my brakes for a second time." The owner is the one that had me schedule this follow-up. I look over and the, "mechanic" is a 20 something and playing on his phone, literally playing the same game I have seen my son play. I asked why?? He says one of your lines touches a header. I said they are hard lines and this has never presented an issue before and the brakes were working before the mc swap so it is not a variable. I then said, I am not judging the kids skill I just know there is still air in the system and I don't have the tool at home to suck all the fluid out. He then proceeds to tell me how to bleed brakes manually so I stop him. I re-state that I had made an appointment, left work, travelled across town to be told no? I then said why didn't you call me then, he replied I was just about to???? When, at my appointment time? Oh well....Go Firest*ne!

I am just going to buy the tool and throw a bit of heat shield on the 1 micron amount of space where the line touches the header.
