[Avodah] Too Much of a Good Thing?

[Joel Rich]

I’ve noticed sometimes that prior to giving someone an aliya at shabbat
mincha, a gabbai will ask whether the individual had an aliya (assumedly
anywhere) that morning. I’ve also seen prospective aliya recipients (e.g
the gabbai comes over and asks their name) volunteer that they had an aliya
that morning. In both cases the result is usually that another oleh is
found. If I am correct, what is the basis for this practice (other than
maximizing aliya distributions?
