id be curious to know the turnover rate of the job these people are performing. And for anyone who says they "were always 15 minutes early for every shift with their little pads of paper and pants on tight with their little uniform all pressed" is either a) lying or b) has zero grasp of the impact their job has.

i think keeping this a pet peeve and loosening your collar a bit might be more beneficial in the long run. Would you rather have employees who feel they have a bit of wiggle room, or two employees who loath you because your an asshat about 5 minutes? Likewise, pissing THEM off and having them quit will cost you time training, finding a replacement, doing the job yourself for a period of time if need-be etc etc

i should say, this is all in terms of an hourly based "job" for a young person...not an actual career...
The performance pay system takes no administrative time whatsoever.

I do agree with you that people showing up for work 15 minutes early or more is bizarre. I would way rather spend that time with my family or by myself than show up for work early. I've never understood the people that do that and I find they usually want a pat on the back for it, which is even more annoying.
