It seems on most mornings there are students waiting outside the bookstore for it to open at 8 am. I presume they need scantrons for their 8 am test. The bookstore people are all inside watching and talking and don't open the doors until 8 am exactly. Why can't they open the doors a few mins early? Let a few employees come in to open the store 15 minutes early and let them end their shift 15 mins early.

My question is this: Does this give the bookstore personnel an ego boost or are they trying to teach the students some responsibility?
