Good for you!    In order to make you feel like this is your full time work a day job, I will take up the position of that guy that is always updating the boss about other employees.. "Hey, Mr. Johnson...have you seen Customizables avatar?" " I was just wondering if you felt it was 'appropriate' for the workplace.."

lol Softproduct...
We didn't have one of those. We just had a lot of people who thought they WERE the boss. e_e
"Didn't I just let you go to the bathroom?"
"Uh, yeah, like, three hours ago, before my break."
"Well, you need to try to go DURING your break next time!"
"..."
Also,
Thanks everybody!

WOOOHOOO! Now you have a New Boss -- Yourself !
Remember the same OSHA rules still apply - (2)-10 minute breaks and a 30-minute lunch for 6 hours worked. And if you don't give yourself time and a half after 8 hours - I would report yourself to the Dept. of Labor.
Best of Luck on your New Job.

lol
I worked at a convenience store that didn't give us any breaks or meals at all, and it was against company policy to sit down on the clock. Try as I might, I could find nothing in the federal, state, or local laws that required them to give me a break. I ended up having to quit after a year and a half because they just kept giving me longer and longer shifts, they wouldn't let me leave when it was time to leave, and they flat out refused to give me a five minute break so I could eat something to keep my blood sugar up. Their words, "You'll just have to eat while you're working like everyone else does." Except they wouldn't let me move away from the deli long enough to eat, and they wouldn't let me eat in the deli...
Evil people.

Well that is illegal and you should report them. I don't recall the exact law, but it's something like 10 min paid break per 4 hour shift, plus some amount of unpaid lunch after a certain number of hours.

Nope, there's no law unless you're under the age of 18. Federal government leaves it up to the state, and Kansas leaves it up to the employers. Believe me, a year and a half of working for those  , I researched it.
