Vent: Customer told me my seams were 'sloppy' and she was right

I've been installing carpet for 12 years in Seattle and thought my seams were solid. Last month a lady in Bellevue pointed out a slight gap near her doorway I didn't even see. She said 'you need to double cut instead of single cut on patterned carpet.' Tried that on my next job and the seam disappeared. Has anyone else had a customer call out something that actually improved your work?

Man, @aaron740's comment made me laugh, but yeah, sometimes a customer just knows better than you do.

Gently disagree that single cuts are always worse. Sometimes it's a time and place thing.

Buddy tried a single cut at his wedding, worked fine. @finleyl39 gets it.
