Wait, is this even verified or just some kid's story?

...and honestly that's the thing about this trade, most clients will just vote with their feet and you never know what you did wrong. I read somewhere that barbers who work in busy shops pick up bad habits faster because nobody has time to correct them, they just get passed over for the next chair. Took me a long time to learn that a straight line across the back isn't about the head's natural curve, it's about the bone underneath. You got lucky that old guy took the time to school you, most folks just leave a bad review on Yelp now. I'd say take that correction and run with it, maybe even look up a few videos on finding the occipital bone before your next shift, it'll click fast once you know what to feel for.

Funny how we hang onto random stuff like that. It's like the universe has a rule that any object you've carried through at least one move becomes family, even if it's a cracked phone or a weird souvenir from a trip you barely remember. My buddy once kept a bent bike spoke in his glovebox for years, said it was "lucky" but really he just forgot it was there. @price.tara, that says more about your packrat instincts than the thing itself, and honestly I respect the commitment. Next thing you know you'll find a drawer full of old charging cables and wonder how they all got there.

Shocked she'd risk her job over a guy banned for that, even if he was a regular.

Man, that is exactly why I stopped trusting those things with anything that has numbers or addresses in it. I had a similar deal where the AI kept confusing two client names that sounded alike, and it turned a simple follow up email into a mess. What worked for me was using the AI for the general outline only, then going back and checking every single fact myself before anyone else saw it. It took maybe ten extra minutes a day, but it beat having to explain to an angry customer why I showed up at the wrong place. I finally just went back to typing my own notes too, because the time I saved was nothing compared to the time I spent fixing its mistakes.
