Default Bike Almost done

So about a month ago, I put in a new fuel filter and new fuel pump assembly. Then my bike broke down and I took it to the shop. Dropped it off and said, I am done with it, Fix it and get back to me, I'll be to pick it up.
They told me that the crank position sensor was bad, replaced it and called me back. "hey your bike starts now, but it runs like ****, we pulled it apart again and you are missing a spring in your fuel pump assembly."

Mind you, this was the fuel pump assembly that I just bought from these guys 2 weeks earlier. I told them I was not going to pay for the labor to fix it, or the spring because they were the ones that sold me the part without the spring. "That is something you can take up with parts, but if you dont pay for it, you dont get your bike back."

I bet you guys that I do get it back, and I dont pay for that part or the labor. I will throw a fit in that place like a giant 2 year old kicking and screaming on the floor. They are going to have to pay ME to get out of that place. Bike should be done Friday.
