Most of the time I would finish my AM patients a bit after my PM patients were already checking in. A lunch break was a dream. Grab a bite of sandwich and a sip of a drink and get back to work. I would finish my PM patients well after the clinic closing time.
I understand getting behind, I do. But if it happens on a daily basis, to me that means you're scheduling too many patients per hour. Since you were salaried and seeing more patients did not equal more income, why not reduce the number of appointments per day?

I've been in offices where more than one patient was scheduled at the exact same time. How doctors can in good conscience allow/encourage that in their practice is a mystery.
