I'm not really sure what this spot checking thing is - but regardless - he was so nice that I didn't even care.

This is what happened - there was SSSS on my bp. He looked at it quite thoroughly and presumably saw the SSSS (or so I thought) and gave the BP back. The g/a saw that it wasn't marked and marched me right back.
