I would be disappointed, but not shocked, that the second person is the last one to adjust regs for customers before they head out the door. That is typically done by a reg tech and not a salesman (although plenty of people are both).

Thanks for the responses so far.
Our shop? A Magnehelic? Are you kidding me? We don't even have a tech! We send any annual service or repair out to another store and pay their tech. Then charge the customer extra for the hassle of transporting it back and forth. At least 25% of the stuff we get back isn't done right and has to go back. We are the last place in the world I would take my own reg to be serviced. We don't even mess with adjusting second stages.
The salespeople do all the set-up and testing of the stuff we sell.
Reefhound said: "If you fully depress the purge button of the second stage, what choice does it have but to free flow? Checking cracking pressure is good but that's not what the first guy did either."
Reefhound: Just for clarification, I don't mean that the reg free flows only while holding the purge, but after releasing it. I wasn't quite sure if that was what you meant by "what choice does it have?" The first guy told me that if after pressing and releasing the purge the reg doesn't continue to free-flow then it's not adjusted correctly.
