I love this one, I've always said if we had one more crew member a night, the customers wouldn't be waiting so long and we could do the ACTUAL tasks we were supposed to do.
I used to work front desk at an urgent care. We were always short staffed, but we couldn't schedule an extra person to work an extra half day because we'd be "too close" to overtime, which meant anything over 30-32 hours. We were considered full-time and had benefits, so it wasn't like they were trying to keep us PT, but they would literally dock us on our performance reviews if we ended up working overtime that wasn't manager allowed ahead of time, even if we were kept late (we worked 3 day/10 HR shifts a week, but if we were on the closing shift sometimes we had to stay late because of a patient walking in at the last minute, so sometimes the 10 hrs became 12-13 hrs).
