Curious about the legal aspect of this job I’m at.

So I (F22) currently work at a vape store in my city. Im planning on leaving there as I got offered a job at my dream workplace (an animal hospital!) but I’ve worked at the vape store for about a month now and something about it is bothering me. I’ll get scheduled 10 hour shifts (which isn’t really a big deal, it’s fine) but my boss and coworkers have all told me that you don’t get actual set breaks.

I keep getting mixed answers from people around me but it really doesn’t seem like it. Typically you’d get a lunch break, and two 15 minute breaks or something. Idk.
