I worked in a hospital that staffed 24/7. If you couldn't work, you had to call the on call person two hours before shift start to try to find someone that wanted overtime. If you didn't call in at all, the last day you worked was your last day. And that was 40 years ago. I am sure it's different now.

Oh, that's still the way it's done today in a hospital. But that's because people might die during night shift when normal staff is small and someone doesn't show up. Starbucks is not gonna get sued just because they open 2 hours late once a week due to no-shows.
