Almost lost a finger last Tuesday because I skipped the quick release check on a customer's front wheel

But isn't the quick release check kind of overrated? I have been working on bikes for years and I can count on one hand the times a QR was actually loose when it came in. Most of the time it is the customer messing with it at home or some kid pulling the lever in a parking lot. If you check every single one like it is a bomb, you slow down the whole job and start second guessing yourself. The real problem is people not torquing axle nuts or thru axles right, not the QR. You got lucky, sure, but one close call does not mean every wheel is out to get you.
