@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.

@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.
