My mind is blown.  Holy fuck, they've stole an hour away from us!

Heh.. 

Lots of other things, too. 

I used to get paid 1/2 day when the company had their semiannual blood drive.   Donate blood during lunch, then go home.  All paid.  

Jury duty used to be paid in full.  I'd ask the jury manager if I could just come in for the week and they'd sign the letter for the week.  
I got to read a book or play cards instead of going to work. 

Most places didn't even dock pay (take hours) if you needed to come in late or take a long lunch for a dentist appointment or to get your car worked on.
