Totally get how that works, seth364 is right about the focus shift. Reminds me of when my cousin brings her hyper kid to family stuff. Someone just hands him a bag of chips to open for everyone, and it's like magic, he's busy and the whole room chills out. It's the same idea, give the worried person a small job that helps. Finding the right way to ask is the real skill though, so they feel useful and not bossed around.

I used to worry about that too, but @jake_patel is right, it's way more common than people realize.

Mine's thriving on straight tap water too, never looked better.

Ever try marking the starting wall with a big piece of blue tape and an arrow? Drill it into them that the arrows ALWAYS point away from that wall. Makes it a rule, not just a detail to look for.

Seriously though I used to roll my eyes at reviews like that, like who leaves one star for toast? But after seeing how much a couple bad ones tanked my friend's cafe, it completely flipped my view. That stuff HURTS when it's your livelihood, and people just throw stars around without thinking. Now I see even a silly complaint can stack up and do real damage. Makes you really feel for anyone dealing with it.
