It's actually kind of brilliant -- you're fining them in time instead of money. They've already demonstrated that they value being able to use money to buy time flexibility, so this is a fine that hurts.

No... it’s an invitation for harried parents to show up with an IOU, a store card, or the cheapest ripest milk they could find.

Charging them double fees is more like it.
