Of course he/she can. How often do you see the dentist? Twice a year max. Instead of asking their boss: can I come in late tomorrow or work from home, they expect an industry to shift their hours. Not just all the dentists but their assistants and admin staff.

- pbhjpbhj 8y agoFor sure, but you're asking someone else to shift their hours, are you happy to shift yours. Whilst there's an economic element there's a large social/family element to the consideration which is why, IMO, you don't see many services time-shifting: particularly dentists where they are relatively well paid and usually able to direct their own hours. Example I work in an SME that could make much more money working Sundays, but we choose to close and be with Church and family. Same sort of consideration; valuing social aspects far beyond their monetary value. Not everyone will be happier with business hours expanding, especially low-wage workers I expect as the expanding hours will lead to lower QoL.
