Master Electrician Dad Teaches Son a Valuable Lesson, 2 is better than 1 in Service, Thoughts?

What happens here

The master electrician corrects his son, advising him to always buy two of any needed electrical component, even if only one is immediately required. He visually demonstrates this by showing two GFCI outlets. The rationale is explained: one part is for the current installation, and the second serves as a spare. This spare prevents time-consuming return trips to the supply house if the first part is faulty, lost, or if an additional one is unexpectedly needed on the job site. This practice is crucial for efficiency and avoiding wasted time.

Goal: Secure necessary components efficiently and prevent project downtime.

What they say

to buy? Uh if it's for customer that needs one, I'm just going to buy one. >> You buy two. You always buy two of something you don't have. It's true. One that you're going to put in that day and one so you don't have to go to Home Depot or take your time. Mhm. There's nothing worse than having to go to the supply house for something as simple as a cover or a GFCI or something that does not allow you to finish the job, right? Yeah,
