When I worked retail prior to the mandatory lunch break 30 minutes, I loved working and leaving an extra half hour early. I felt that if I actually took a break for lunch it would slow me down. But that’s just me. Then the paid half hour lunches were mandatory to take. We had an. Unpaid half hour where we were free to leave the property within that half hour. Because as I understood it, if you left the premises and got into an accident on their clock, it would be a liability issue? I could be wrong.

Edit: wow sorry I’ve been up for too long not sure if that even makes any sense lol!
