Still seeing barbers skip the 0 gapping step on clippers

Was at a shop swap meet in Tacoma last month. Watched three different barbers do a fade. None of them zero gapped their blades first. You can see it in the blend line every time. It's not a big deal on a 1 or 2 guard. But on a 0.5 or 0 fade that skip shows up like a sore thumb. I check my Wahl Seniors every morning before the first chair. Takes 2 minutes. How do you guys get around that uneven blend without fixing the gap?

Ugh guilty as charged... I definitely forget sometimes when I'm rushing.

lol I'm the absolute worst at this. I once put a frozen pizza in the box with the cardboard still on it and didn't realize until I bit into that sad, chewy mess. Another time I forgot to add oil to the cake mix, ended up with a brick that could've doubled as a doorstop. We're all just out here speedrunning our lives and hoping the oven timer saves us from ourselves lmao
