If the line to get into your restaurant consistently runs out the door and wraps around the block, you don’t tell your customers to try eating somewhere else first and come back only if you’re still hungry (especially when they’ve already paid). You expand and hire more staff as necessary.
I agree, and IMO until and unless we have a robust system that quickly catches all the deny-deny-deny "errors" and pays them swiftly, we need to stop playing footsie with dues refunds and invest in the infratructure needed to handle the actual needs we have,
Getting a couple hundred dollar check is cool. Having incorrect assignments fixed/paid quickly is WAY cooler.
