Re: Cobbler, The Shoe Doctor
coupla months ago, i was pounding bombay pavement when my sandal broke… no worries, there was a cobbler on every street! i got it repaired in 5 mins, looking with interest at his toolbox. he worked so efficiently and did a great job.. and he charged me just Rs.10… i ended up giving him a dollar coz i just felt really embarrassed… but a lady standing behind me gave me an exasperated look when she saw me do that :-\
in brooklyn, there is a cobbler who mends shoes, handbags, etc. once i broke the strap on my handbag and he told me it would be $15 to repair it. i just walked out.. figured i could just put that money towards somet else
