As a medic, I don't think being late to work would go over well with the public either. Being 10 minutes late to work would could mean Grandma is going to be dead.
But I guess it don't mean nothing if you are working at Walmart or answering a phone.
Good thing that dying grandma waited for your shift to start.
Sure, there is the previous crew still working. But they've already completed a 12 hour shift and are exhausted. So let's just be late and keep them on one last call that will add at least another hour to their day/night. Ain't no big right?
I agree that it's unfair with respect to all the coworkers. But if somebody dies just because you are 10 minutes late, this hospital/institutions has some pretty serious issues. Of course that no excuse to be late.
