Gun repair shop question.

Banging on the geese a couple of weeks ago when my BPS stopped firing and only clicking, not engaging the firing pin. So i brought it into Laffy to Acadiana Gun repair (in Scott)...
I waited 2 and a half weeks (he told me 2 weeks and a quote would be called into me). Second split starts Sat so I drop by yesterday to pick up my gun to bring it to someone else who can get right on it.
I walk in an hand my ticket telling the girl I want my gun to bring elsewhere.....she walks back with the gun and laughs and says "it's done already, it only needed a good cleaning inside the trigger mechanism."
Then charge me $75! for a freaking cleaning!!
2 questions...
1 Should I be pissed they didn't call when the figured it wasn't broken and a quote to clean?
2 Why would a cleaning cost $75?
Also, there is a sign at the window that says minimum charge for any gun brought in is $30.
Thoughts?

$30 for anything that walks through the door, $45 to clean it. It's very shitty of the business, and the bitch to laugh at you when they should have called you.

$75 for a few squirts of Gun Scrubber.
Do you also pay someone to sight in your rifles for you?

$75 is high for a cleaning on a pump. I know most places charge a minimum. I know Jim's in BR charges $35.
