I got a huge surprise automatic bill from DirecTV with an early termination fee,
in spite of already establishing I would not be hit with one. I had to call and
clear up the error, which they were going to be far more relaxed about remedying
than they were about causing, so I crabbed until they got a sense of urgency
clearing this up. It makes me feel cynical to suspect they may have been just
hoping I wouldn't notice, but it does strike me that companies seem much more
prone to making financial errors that favor them than ones that favor us.

You seriously comparing seating people at a restaurant to medical care? It takes five, ten minutes to cook a steak. Want to tell me how long to detect and then tell somebody they have cancer?
Who cares if doctors actually have legitimately important and complex jobs and that they may have been in an emergency at the hospital earlier that day which caused his 2PM appointment to be bumped up an annoying amount of time even though the doctor helped save a life. Dammit... 2 PM!!!!!!
