I am probably not the first person to think of this method, but I like to think I am smarter than most. Who else out there hated how short their lunch break was, even when it was 1h long, when you factor in, leaving the office, leaving the parking lot, driving to the restaurant, ordering, eating, driving back….etc.
So what did I do, I offer to pick up lunch for my boss/supervisor who is still back at work. Now the commute and order time don't get calculated. Sorry boss, I was waiting on your order, they messed it up the first time….blah blah blah.
To date, no manager has ever called me out on longer breaks, as long as they were getting hot food when I came back.
Oh yeah that is the other trick, you dont order THEIR food, until you have finished your meal, adding to the time. Boss man, you don't want your food sitting on the table next to me for an additional 40 minutes while I finish eating….do you?
