Default Issues with getting keys made

Anyone ever have an issue with getting spare keys made for the older GM columns? I went in to home depot last night to get a couple ignition spares made for my 90 MJ and the guy did not have the right Jig. It fit in the GM slot(the columns are GM tilt columns), but the key they had on file was longer than mine.

Bingo. Most home improvement stores don't carry a majority of dies/jigs for cars, only a few select ones.
