Knot... I saw him kind of flailiing to get my old bar off the rack where it was bungeed down for transport...he was rough and impatient and I thought...I do not want those hands on my bike....He's on his way out and so need not be invested in my happiness..

that's the long answer.
the short answer is no, i will not have him fix it.

I asked him to give me longer cables for the new handlbar and he basically just switched the sides...probably cut what was already there. there are at least 3 other shops I trust to do a job right....I just have to wait a little longer to get it back.

I'm not sure I'm ready to replace cable myself yet...too many vitals at stake there. ANd I haven't found a really clear explanation of how to do it so that I go, "oh that's clear, I can do that..."

oh yeah...River City, where I bought m' bike has a free espresso bar on the weekends and free coffee always....but they are also one of the busiest shops...not that that busy is bad...
