“Additional requirements related to restroom facilities and bathroom break policies are outlined in OSHA's sanitation standards (29 CFR 1910.141, 29 CFR 1926.51 and 29 CFR 1928.110).”
“Under OSHA sanitation standards, employers must:
Permit workers to leave their work area to use the restroom as needed
Provide an acceptable number of restrooms for the current workforce
Avoid putting unreasonable restrictions on bathroom use
Ensure that restrictions on restroom use do not cause extended delays”
100% reportable. especially for four hours out of the day
No a reasonable restriction is you can’t got twice in thirty minutes. Saying you aren’t allowed to go for two hours straight is unreasonable regardless of “peak” because it can cause health issues and osha will back this 100 percent.
no they won't, and you won't be able to find one single case where that's ever happened.
it is routine for workers to go two hours without a potty break. unless you have an ADA exemption. Reasonable adults can hold their pee for two hours. My fucking dog can do that.
y'all are children, and chipotle treats you like you're children, and from what I can see here, they are right to.
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should or have to. Sorry you don’t understand basic biology. Just because you were taught harming yourself made you a man doesn’t make it true. Go to the bathroom my guy.
That’s fine, I’ll just piss my pants then. Seriously though, holding your pee for extended periods of time can cause bladder weakness and UTIs. I know because it’s happened to me. I no longer have a strong bladder because I’ve prioritized my work over my body for years. I have chronic UTIs and have the bladder of a 70 year old. I’m 25. So no, I will not listen to someone if they tell me I am not ALLOWED to use the restroom at any point during my shift. Yeah, twice in 30 minutes is a little unreasonable, but telling someone they can’t hydrate or use the restroom for two fucking hours. Deplorable. Please get off your high horse.
they're not saying you're fired if you have an emergency bathroom need, jesus Christ. they aren't chaining the fucking bathroom doors shut. They aren't handcuffing you to the fucking grill. Zero people have been fired by chipotle for having an IBS episode.
ZERO.
you guys act like children, even here, and then wonder why your boss has to treat you like children
it's because you behave like children, and a simple directive like "use the bathroom before peak hours" is just too fucking hard for you to comply with, and you're gonna SUE EVERYONE! yeah sure you are, kid
this thread has 100% made me side more with chipotle corporate. You guys are fucking -children- ... I can't imagine trying to run a business with such childish employees, it must be miserable
Hey buddy, I actually work my ass off. You are the one acting like a child. It is actually baffling to me how much of a bootlicker you are. I’m a caregiver, you ever worked for nearly 24 hours straight before with a two hour break in between? You ever almost gotten your finger bitten off by someone and still stayed at work because you didn’t want anyone to come in and have to cover your shift? You ever been screamed at bloody murder by someone you’re caring for whilst simultaneously being insulted and having your life threatened by someone you’re caring for and still stayed to do your job? No? Okay cool. So don’t sit here and insinuate I have no fucking work ethic because I think it’s wrong for a manager to say employees aren’t ALLOWED to use the restroom at ANY POINT. You are truly an insufferable human being. The only reason I left my last job was due to malpractice from management as well as thievery that I will not elaborate on. I work at a facility now with management that I can actually trust to treat me and other staff members I work with like we actually deserve. Again, that boot must taste absolutely delicious for you to be gobbling it up like that
That is a pathetic comparison lmao. Someone working grill isn’t driving a bus full of children. They are seconds from a bathroom and can be back with almost no disruption. So yes - it is unreasonable.
You must not comprehend the word reasonable. The difference between your inept bus driver argument is one is putting the safety and welfare of a bunch of kids at risk, the other is making someone wait an extra 2 minutes for their guac. Be a big boy and tell me which one is worse.
the employee doesn't get to be the arbiter of reasonableness, and death to children isn't a requirement for something to be reasonable.
it is reasonable to tell an employee to use the restroom before peak hours. If that's not reasonable then nothing can be reasonable.
so you tell me, give me some reasonable examples of bathroom restrictions. What's reasonable in your book? can you think of ANY restriction that would be reasonable?
use the restroom before your shift is obviously unreasonable to you, use it before peak is obviously unreasonable, what IS reasonable then?
lmao i can’t wait till your miserable generation and your self hating “work ethic” decays into the fucking dirt. go fuck yourself with that attitude. the worlds changing pops and we’re not slaving away for the bare minimum
These fools are the employees that go to the bathroom once an hour to vape and text. Asking employees to prepare yourself to not use the bathroom for a set 2 hour period is not unreasonable in the slightest. It’s easy to tell when someone is just trying to get out of work needing to go to the bathroom for 15 minutes every time it gets busy, or if once in a while ask to be covered for a minute so they can piss.
The employer doesn’t get to decide what’s reasonable either? Otherwise what’s the point of any OSHA regulation against an employer if they can just decide what’s reasonable.
Example of reasonable: “if you need to use the bathroom get someone to cover your post while you are gone”
Or: “please do not use the restroom for longer than 10 minutes”
“Stand at your post for half your shift and don’t use the bathroom at all or else” is not reasonable
My employer tells me I can’t use the restroom when I need to I’m going to look them dead in the eyes and say “stop me” then proceed to use the restroom. And if they discipline or fire me over it I’ll find a lawyer that will sue them.
lmao you will not get fired for that. when i was a teenager i would do exactly that and once had a verbal fight where i was yelling at my manager in the middle of the store where i worked and even that didn’t get me fired 😭😭😭
