When I was managing a small drug store, I usually wasn't too fussy about start times for my cashiers, as I made overlapping shift times by a half hour.
What ground my gear, as it were, was the one empolyee I had to schedule 1/2 hour earlier than I wanted her there, if I wanted to see her 'on time'. I wished I could have afforded to fire her so many times, but with the times being what they were (3 years ago, now) I couldn't. I knew that I'd not be able to replace her very easily (I spent a lot of time arguing with my DM about raising the starting wage to try to attract an actual quality cashier)
