I forget which unschooling post I read, but they equated it with someone actively playing a sporting game (soccer, let's say) and a parent demanding the child stop playing the in-progress game to pay attention to the parent. That would be rude to assume, right? So why think that interrupting Minecraft is ok?
The counter girl hopped right up when I walked in and was clocking in to help me.
Me: were you on break? I can wait until it's over I'm not in a hurry.
Her: no, we're supposed to clock out when there aren't customers
Me: oh no, honey, no. That's illegal.
Her: 😳
Me: not for you, for your manager or whoever told you to do that.
Her: it is?
Me: it's called wage theft when your boss doesn't pay you what you earned. when your boss requires you to stay here, he needs you pay you for your time.
Her: oh.
Me: here, this is the office number to an employment lawyer, call her and tell her you need to come in to talk about this
Her: I don't have any money
Me: we're gonna get your money, you already earned it sweetie.
