Two or so weekends ago, one of my very first customers of the day stopped me near the key machine and held up a masterlock padlock. (This gets me overjoyed because it means if I do have to make a key of it, I can test it out immediately.) But he asks some unusual questions like 'If I give you this key, can you make it work in this lock?" That's the summatorial version of it, anyway.
It's not even a matter of suspicion at this point, though it wasn't not a factor. The simple fact is, we can't do that here.
But he doesn't believe me. He says that we should sell a little tool that lets us slam it with the key in it and turn it to rekey it. He absolutely insists upon it.
I tell him that we don't do that, and never have. He continues to insist on it. I just shake my head and walk away. No sense on wasting any time with this.
------------------
About ten minutes later, after the rest of my co-workers have entered the building and clocked in, (This was all within 15 minutes of opening.) I find out through idle casual gossip that they also got this customer.
... and another co-worker did as well.
And another.
And another.
And another.
This guy asked every single one of us this same question. I was asked over our private communication line this question twice within two minutes.
This dude was tenacious. o_o
