Obviously you have never run anything. She is being paid by her employer for that time. Find me a single employer who says "I'm ok with my on-the-clock employees staring at the wall". I understand your point about waiting to greet someone or to answer a phone, but I'm sure there are other things to occupy her time while on her employer's dime, no? I'm reminded of working in retail, on those snowing days when NO ONE came out. I was a sales guy, so my job was to "wait" until customers wanted to buy something. If there were none, I was expected to clean shelves, vacuum, maintain stock, make end stock more presentable, file paperwork, follow-up with previous customers, and the list goes on, and on, and on. I've never had the pleasure of working for someone who was ok with me wasting time at their expense.
