Look I’m not very experienced and I probably don’t know half of what I’m talking about. I’m more book-smart than street and work smart. I am not educated on many work laws. But I find it fucking angering that Outback Steakhouse, my new place of work where I’m a hostess, schedules me for only a few shifts a week that are about 6 hours each (part-time work), despite my being over 18 and having open availability. They know that if they schedule me for 8 hours, they have to give me a half-hour unpaid break. And all I want is 5-10 minutes to scarf down my food and they won’t even give me that (except one sympathetic manager). I was a minor at my last job, turned 18 while I was unemployed, but that job gave 18+ year olds 10 minutes to sit down and have a meal. Not to mention this place fed us up to $15 worth of delicious, fresh food per shift and all Outback can give is 50% off their greasy shit and free shitty bread. So I have to bring my own decently healthy, affordable meals and can’t even have a few minutes to eat them. I’m not even usually the only hostess on shift except after 7 pm since I close. Often there’s 3 of us crowding the little stand. Don’t know if I can do anything about it but I’d appreciate any advice. I have other places I can go work and I’m looking for a second job but the job market is tougher than it was when I was 16 in 2021.
