Hungry At Work

So I work at a fast food place, I am a 17M who works two jobs to support my family, and I go into work at 4, I go directly there from my other job or school and it’s the earliest I can make it, then I work until 10:30 and get out by 11 because of closing. However no one is provided a break unless you are scheduled to work more than 7 hours. If you’re a math genius you would notice that I work 6 and a half. That being said, I chatted with my manager explaining my situation and how that would leave me last eating at noon and not again until 11. So We arranged that I would get a 15 minute unpaid break to eat really quick everyday. Fast forward a couple of days, this work day has been ass, I’ve been given crap at…


So I work at a fast food place, I am a 17M who works two jobs to support my family, and I go into work at 4, I go directly there from my other job or school and it’s the earliest I can make it, then I work until 10:30 and get out by 11 because of closing. However no one is provided a break unless you are scheduled to work more than 7 hours. If you’re a math genius you would notice that I work 6 and a half. That being said, I chatted with my manager explaining my situation and how that would leave me last eating at noon and not again until 11. So We arranged that I would get a 15 minute unpaid break to eat really quick everyday. Fast forward a couple of days, this work day has been ass, I’ve been given crap at both jobs that day and was honestly just done. I had been getting through customers twice as fast as 3 other registers, and it wasn’t as busy as usual, however when I asked to get my 15 mins to eat I was told “we are understaffed and there’s no time for u to eat” so I responded “not even really quick like 5 mins” and he then replied “no sorry”. So I’m kinda just confused on what I’m supposed to do, I can’t eat on the clock and I don’t have time to eat if I wanna get to work on time. Any advice? Or am I just being dramatic?
