This kind of statistical data doesn't paint a pretty picture of the service industry, now does it. My brother in law showed up 10 minutes early for his doctor's appointment last week. Waited an HOUR -- 40 minutes of it IN THE EXAM ROOM.

I really hate having to wait for an extended time too.

John's last checkup at the doctor's office took 3 hours 2 and 3/4's of it was waiting. I hate waiting! If they have your phone number they need to use it and either reschedule or rebook the appointment. It's rude and disrespectful to let anyone wait unless it's an emergency. Now I feel better! Thanks for letting me rant.
