The Tuesday my shop hit 14 tune ups before noon and I ran out of cable ends

Every repair stand was full by 9am and I had three walk ins waiting on the bench, which never happens on a Tuesday in November. Turned out a group ride out of Davis got caught in the rain over the weekend and every one of them needed new pads, cables, and a drivetrain scrub. I ended up short on cable ends and had to beg a box off the shop two blocks over. What do you keep extra of for days like that?
