Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

Does your District allow you to work 6 straight hours with no 30 min break? We used to be able to do exactly 6 hours without having to take a 30 min break. Now we are being made to take the break and only clock 5.5 hours. (self.starbucksbaristas)

From what i understand, if you're scheduled for 6+ hours, you get a 30. BUT, since you're supposed to clock out for your 30, you only get paid for 5.5. That being said, being scheduled for 5.75 hours only gets you a 10, but since you stay clocked in, you get paid for the full 5.75.
I've been told that continually skipping 30's (that is, keeping partners clocked in for the full 6 hours) gets you in trouble with corporate and/or the department of labor, but I've never seen that happen to anyone, since my partners are really good about giving 30's. Also, there are laws that state companies MUST give employees a break of X time if they work for Y hours or more. Specifics vary from place to place, of course

Thank you for responding. Tonight my ASM allowed me to skip my 30 and we got out 5 minutes before I was at 6 hours.
It’s just weird to me that after 3 YEARS of working 6 hour shifts with only a 10 min break now all of the sudden we are being made to take 30 min breaks. It feels as if we are being cheated out of our hours/pay. I know we aren’t but it feels that way. 🤷🏻♀️

I live in Alberta Canada, and we are legally entitled to a 30 min break at 5 hours.
