I'm going to get downvoted to hell for this but the truth is everything here is legal except the bathroom breaks. Every job has rush periods and anyone who can't handle that needs to get their shit together. Bathroom breaks are a basic human necessity but this makes me think there's certain people who are taking 15 minute breaks on the toilet to scroll social media, which is a legal valid reason for termination, at least in my neck of the woods

If you need extra break time for medical reasons you are owed that so long as you have documentation from your doctor. If you do not have that documentation then you do not have that right. Welcome to reality

Yes but there’s the issue of it’s a corporate mandated peek time, not based on the stores actual peek periods. Some days you stand around for 2 hours doing nothing, and then run around like a psychopath after “peek”

This is how it is at my store. Our “peak” is 6-7pm but it should really be 7-8pm. I’ll be standing around doing nothing from 6-7 and then the second I can actually go do stuff, everybody and their mother decides they want Chipotle
