Am I required to take my 30min lunch break?

This probably isn't the right place to ask this but idk where else to ask lol. Basically I'm in school and work 4-10 (store closes at 9 so I've never even worked the full 6 hours yet) since it's a 6 hour shift I'm given a 30 minute unpaid lunch break. To me this seems kind of pointless and since I'm never working the full shift I figured I might as well just not go on my lunch to make up for lost time. I was told that I'm supposed to go on my break and that I'm “cheating the system” by just staying and continuing to work? So is it legally required for me to take my lunch? I'm in Manitoba btw. I'm probably in the wrong just wanted to get confirmation.
