Yes, but you can't inspect quality into a product; you have to build it into the product.

Years ago, some American auto executives toured a Toyota factory to learn from them. After the tour, one of them said, "Those sneaky Japanese, they didn't show us their rework area." What he didn't know was that unlike American factories, there was no rework area.

Kids these days. When I was small, I got to play with Lego 377: Shell Service Station.

If there is no bike parking, then just take the bike into the shop with you. If it's a small shop where you can keep your eye on it, leave it near the entrance. If it's a large shop, roll it around with you — it's not much different from a wheelchair. If the management complains, tell them they're being illogical and take your business elsewhere.

The people who make a Linux distribution for Apple Silicon Macs are proposing this convention for disk partitions so that multiple operating systems can coexist and be recognized by the OS chooser at boot.
