some days the line moved too slow so you just didnt get to eat. also you may have lunch debt so you get your food taken away and given a cheese sandwich
well the classes after me have, at least at my high school. when i went there they got rid of the soup and salad line (but kept the pizza line?) but after i left they added a shitload of different food options and even a fucking panini bar
I had a coworker assume that I was some sort of felon because of this.
No, just retail work in a shitty state that does not mandate any breaks for employees. You learn real quick how to eat a sandwich and be back on the floor in 2 minutes so your manager doesn’t jump down your throat.
Finland here. Legally it’s supposed to be at least 30 if not 45 min, and we’ve laws about overtime and what have you but I never got them in a single place of work and somehow the bosses just kept getting away with it.
Even somewhat large companies.
I have never worked a job in my life that I was actually afforded the protections and rights that the law required. Some I left, some just wouldn’t change.
That’s not true, french law doesn’t guarantee a break specifically for lunch. It guarantees a break for an amount of time wich depends on the duration of the workday, usually 20 minutes. Source ( in french)
I’ve been working temp jobs for the past 10 years so I worked for dozens of companies and of the top of my head I can only remember 2 which gave me proper lunch breaks lasting more than 30 minutes.
Unions here require you to take 30 minute lunch breaks plus a 15 minute break between that and end of shift (for the regular 8 hour shifts)

I have never had that long of a break, even in grade school my lunch was 15-20min including standing in line to and from the cafeteria

You know how ex cons have that stereotype of ingesting their food in 3.5 seconds? It was like that, but with kids

Ridiculous
