I started working at a restaurant doing host/to-go and nobody takes breaks. Even when starting in training, more often than not we are doing 8/9 hour shifts. For servers it kind of makes sense because they have staggered start and end times but not even they take breaks nor the managers. I asked a coworker who was new about it and she mentioned she made a joke about reporting them to a manager and they said “oh you don’t want to open that can of worms.” It’s very strange. No 15s no 10s no 30 minute lunch NADA for the entirety of the staff. I cannot get a new job because the job market in my area is ruthless and the rent prices are through the roof and honestly this place is not as bad I’ve experienced but the break thing just doesn’t sit right with me.
What can I do about this if anything?
