Blah blah Bitch Blah

I keep procrastinating on getting ready to go to work. Bad, I know. I have 20 minutes to get ready and GTFO.

I also forgot - recently remembered- one of the reasons why I disliked retail/grocery. People like to make you take your breaks hella early so by the time the end of the night comes when you want a break, you don't have any left.

Honestly, I'd rather take my break late. And late to me is at least after the halfway point of my shift, not goddamn 3 hours in 'just because I still have a 15 left later'. When you make we take the 15 minutes some 2 hours later when I still have 2.5 hours left before we leave, that doesn't help me. We aren't fucking busy and we have three people. Four, actually. Since the one in training [Hell, I'm still technically in training] doesn't count. I don't see why I can't take my lunch at 7 [after getting in at 2] and even skip my 5 altogether. I wouldn't even care. I hate and wasn't even hungry. ~_~

*sighs* I'm not going to suddenly ask for my break when we're slammed, guys. Can't you just let me take it at a reasonable time. =\

This pain of yours, I feel it.

Although--for most managers I work with, anyway--the managers kind of expect the baggers to take care of themselves, so I don't get this problem very often because I have to ask when I can take a break. The cashiers run into this problem a ton, though.

I agree with you. When I worked as a cashier I didn't get to pick my breaks and was forced to go on a full hour 2 hours after I started.

THANK GOD I CHANGED DEPARTMENTS.

Sounds like poop. When I worked retail (Gamestop), I could take my break whenever I wanted so long as I didn't abuse it.
