I may need those few extra minutes one day.
Interesting take, and not a bad one.

The other side of that particular coin though is the doctors and dentists who routinely overbook appointments to compensate for anticipated no-shows. I don't know if it happens here but back in Minnesota it was a relatively common practice. When the no-shows DO show, it causes backups, sometimes of an hour or more. quite annoying.
