So I work at a golf course. Been doing this for 8 years.
I work 6am – 2pm. First off we do more work. Setting up and deal with morning rushes. The place is typically dead in the afternoon.
When I was hired I was informed you had to work 4 hours to get a lunch break. Half a shift.
The problem is we don’t have closers come in until 12. We are steady and busy. Not enough staff to take a lunch break.
They suggested one at a time. Doesn’t work because we get busy and have a rushed break.
I suggested we get to go boxes and eat while working they banned it. Closers show up and clock in at 12 and eat for 30 minutes and then walk downstairs. Lately we have been getting sent home early around 1-1:30.
We were told no breaks because we have to finish opening duties and then it’s time to leave.
Even though you have to work 4 hours before you get a break the closers are clocking in without doing any work and taking a 30 minute break.
