I got a replacement key for my xB... they were out of Scion keys so I got a Toyota key... cost about $7. Would rather have a Toyo key than a Scion key anyways...

...some say ; " if you have to ask , you can't afford it " , but I always ask b4 I buy anything .
...all that aside , a logo blank is under $5 bucks and they should have cut it for free .
... logo key blank + labor = $18.00

I would not have expected them to tell me about Lowe's or Walmart (we tried Lowes .. their key cutter didn't do a good job and the key wouldn't turn)

Given that the cost of the logo key was so high for just a key, I would have expected them to tell her the cost, and the cost of the non-logo key. I don't ask a coffee shop how much a large coffee is ... I expect it to be in the $2-$3 range. If it's $18, I expect them to tell me.

A molded rubber, logo key for my son's 99 Civic is $10. That's more reasonable.
