Same here, we didn't check alignment on every frame, but on the few where there were shifting issues which could not be adjusted, alignment was nearly always the issue.
Then a new service manager was hired and he had us checking on every bike. Pretty much every bike needed some adjustment, but with most it was nearly inconsequential. We were, however, making substantial adjustments to more bikes than we had before.
