Saw a repair shop in Sacramento with 40 open laptops stacked in the window, all waiting on one part
I was walking down K Street in Sacramento last week and stopped outside a repair shop because the window display caught my eye. There were about 40 laptops stacked in rows, and every single one had a sticky note with a customer name and the same part number on it. I went in and asked, and the owner said a single supplier delay on one common DC jack has been holding up his whole bench for 3 weeks. He is now telling walk-in customers to call first before dropping anything off. How do you all handle it when one part backs up your whole queue?
