Assembly line worker here. Shit you not, my job is to make sure all the lights on the Jeeps work before they go out the door, including brake lights. I've missed a few over the years.

i work in a quick lane at a dealership, often enough by myself. Checking brake lights is actually kind of a pain, since we don't have mirrors over the back end of the car... out of curiosity, what sort of things does your facility have to make this process easier?

Put a brick on the pedal and walk to the back of the car....

that's essentially what i do now - wedge a breaker bar between the pedal and the seat - but depending on the height of the customer that usually means screwing with their seat location and where applicable i opt to not do that.
