Default Oil level concerns

The last two times I have had my engine oil changed by the local dealer. When I go to check the level after the service I have noticed the oil is about 3/8" to 1/2" over the little holes on the dip stick.

The range in the manual says the little holes are the range.

Am I overly concerned about the level being to high?

I asked them to watch it the second time, but it came back the same way.

How long does it sit before you check it?
