Gregory's Server@Quenby I was short-clocked at Walmart as a teenager (in the 90s) by about 3 hours a week. They lost a class action about it, I believe.
I like to think the Waltons needed that $16/week from my $85 check. My charitable contribution to America.🥳

@Loki_Leigh @Quenby I worked retail all through my teen years. I basically never got any lunch breaks or breaks at all. Major retailers. I did get breaks at the small lumber yard I worked at through college. They treated me 100x better. @Loki_Leigh @subjacentish @Quenby when I worked at Taco Bell 20 years ago, they tried to make me work the first 6 hours of my 8 hour shifts without a break, because the lunch rush always started mid-shift. This meant no sitting down, etc. One day when the district manager was in the store, I walked up to him and the store manager and told them this was a violation of state labor law and it needed to stop. They made DAMNED sure that I got my breaks every day after that lol. @Loki_Leigh @subjacentish @@cutie.city Not legal at all. Rules on breaks and lunches based on hours worked/scheduled.  @subjacentish @Quenby |
@subjacentish @Quenby I am now wondering how legal it was for the veterinarian's office that I worked at straight out of high school to have us do double shifts instead of taking a lunch break.
