Had a Monday where 3 customers brought in bikes with the exact same brake problem

Last month I had one of those days where everything lines up weird. Three different people came in, all with squeaky disc brakes on bikes that were less than a year old. First one I just cleaned the rotors with alcohol and bedded them in again. Second one had a slightly bent rotor. Third one was just loose bolts on the caliper. Never had three brake jobs in a row be the same basic issue. Made me wonder if there was a bad batch of pads going around or if it's just the weather. Anyone else ever get a pattern like that where multiple customers show up with the same fix?

Could the weather be changing the brake pad compound enough to cause all those issues at once?

@bennett.patricia maybe the humidity swells the pads unevenly.
