3 - 5 days isn't bad... many dealers are 5 days before they'll even look at a bike...

I get on the spot service at my dealer. No bullshit. Of course I haven't needed any major service on any of my bikes.

Couldn't you still ride it until the part came in? Was it warped that bad?

That is fine if they let you put your name in the hat without the bike there... many say... drop it off, get in line... we'll call you when we get to it.

it's called making an appointment.
If I set something up for friday at noon, I expect the bike to be in the shop with a tech looking at it NLT 12:30, and I know I should show up 10 min early for said apointment.

If i just walk in and need something, then yeah, if they can fit me in, great, if they can't... not their fault.
