kim's right about the timing thing... Bob probably meant well but shortcut advice always ends up costing more in the long run.

My buddy's chimney did the exact same thing after switching inserts.

Had a buddy at my old spot who searched for a whole case of frozen chicken wings for ten minutes. He was cussing under his breath, checking the freezer, the walk-in, even the loading dock. The whole time, the case was sitting on the floor behind his own legs. Another cook finally pointed and said "bro, you're standing right in front of it." We all had a good laugh after service ended, but man, the look on his face was priceless. You ever have a moment where you just need to stop and take a deep breath before you flip out?

Hmm, I actually see it a little different. "Nobody checked" makes it sound like people are just lazy, but honestly most folks don't have the tools or know-how to spot a deepfake. It's not like we all have forensic software sitting around.

It's like we fix a leaky faucet with duct tape and call it character building.
