Some businesses have actually determined that "hourly" workers outside of production, customer service, or retail type jobs, are pretty much pointless. Check out the ROWE program linked below that Best Buy Corporate has adopted.
It has been seen that productivity, attendence and employee moral were all lifted when employees were taken off the clock, and only required to do their work, and then go home.
In this day in age of cubicles, hourly punching is largely archaic, and I do believe that the time punch is some sort of "control" issue with management.

Probably because you are contracted to work 7-8hrs per day. Imagine hiring a car for a day, and finding it had gone when you weren't using it. Your boss has paid for you to be there, so if he wants you to sit around then thats up to him.
If your job is crap, then get another...you only live once.

Because you have committed to work the hours agreed. Your paid for the amount you both agreed on and your are paid for those hours. You need to work fully. Count yourself lucky you have it easy on your job, some have no time to think about this question.
Willingness, dedication, commitment and loyalty.
Be thankful you have a job, some struggle to just get one.

Some bosses believe that when u fill out an employment application for 8 hrs of torture a day, they are going to make you comply and like it..

So you don't lose your hours. He/she sounds like a great boss. Mine will force us home and small paychecks are not worth going home a little early, i'm there, mine as well get my hours in.

I suppose he would let you go home if you told him you wouldn't mind loosing some of your wages to do so . After all he is paying you.

You get paid to sit there and play on Yahoo Answers and you are complaining about it?

If you aren't being paid -- leave. If you are being paid to be there, be thankful you have a job you can handle, and find something productive to do.
