I read somewhere that a guy used a short chunk of chain and welded it to his lift frame, then hooked the pin on a carabiner so it can't roll far even if it pops loose. He said the pin still comes out sometimes but it just dangles instead of vanishing into the floor drain. There's also the trick of drilling a tiny hole through the pin head and running a zip tie to the arm, sounds dumb but it works. My old shop lead kept a magnet on a stick behind the bay just for fishing pins out from under stuff. Buying them 5 at a time helps too but that gets pricey if you're losing one a week.

Same thing happened to me with my grandma's rolls, never going back.

Honestly the wifi issue sounds annoying but a chicken in the server room is kinda iconic. Where I'd push back is the owner just letting a hen nest on the router for 2 years, that's not quirky, that's bad wiring and a fire risk waiting to happen. Eggs are cute until one cracks and fries your motherboard, then nobody's laughing. Plus you paid $150 for a setup that should include stable internet, not a petting zoo. A plant in the corner is one thing, livestock on the equipment is where I'd draw the line.
