Every Sunday that “just works” has a crew that showed up at 7 a.m. so it would.

Smoothness is a product, and it is expensive. Anything that feels effortless from a seat was made effortless by people who arrived while it was dark, carried things, tested things and fixed the thing that broke last time. Their whole aim is that you never think about them, which works, and means they are thanked least when they do best.

Find out who opens up at whatever you attend, and go once at their hour. Carry something, learn a job, and thank them by name afterward.
