Old timer named Frank taught me a trick with drawer slides yesterday

I was at a job site in Austin helping a guy install some kitchen cabinets and this retired carpenter named Frank comes over to check out our work. He showed me how to use a scrap piece of 1/4 inch plywood as a spacer to get the slides perfectly level every time, saved me from redoing about six drawers. Has anyone else picked up a simple trick from some random person on a job?

Lily, do you still use that same plywood spacer Frank showed you, or did you switch to something else since then?

Old timer showed me the same trick once, right after I spent an hour leveling drawer slides by eye and cursing myself. Now I keep a little plywood spacer in my bag like a security blanket, feels like cheating.
