I usually just go sit in my car if that’s an option for you.

bring headphones and plug in. that gives you an excuse to ignore people when they’re talking to you.

sometimes if there’s not many people in the lobby i sit in the bathroom😂

i bring my headphones and take up that desk in the back like no one’s business. that’s my break and i’m gonna take advantage of the little space we have

Take a walk outside :)

Oh my gosh I feel that spiritually. After hours of being on your feet and peppy and talking to people it just drains you and you need to take some time to BREATHE.

No, not at all.

I once had someone eat up the last 10 minutes of my lunch because they hadn’t clocked in yet and was asking me a variety of questions about beverage sequencing.

I definitely feel the same way!

I’m a shift and when I get in, I often have to deal with other shifts trying to pass me the keys and catch me up on how the morning went/how the cleaning is going. It drives me crazy.

I’m also a mom to a toddler, so when I get in, I need my 20 min before I clock in to drink my coffee, eat some food and relax before the storm.

I took up smoking to get some alone time from work--how sick is that? I don't even like smoking, I don't touch cigarettes unless I'm at work. But damn, it gives me a reason to stand outside and not talk to anymore for 10 minutes.

I sit outside, people don’t bother me hahah

NO I LITERALLY DO THE SAME THING. Our break room is tiny so i literally have my break in the supply closet 😀🤟 kinda small but I just don’t always feel like socializing or else i’ll go insane. at least i’m friends with the cleaning chemicals <3

No not at all. I dont talk to people on my breaks either. I need the me time to decompress a bit and get some food in my stomach. I used to eat in my car if the backroom was occupied, or I just sit on the curb outside my store and eat there.

ok i felt this hard my 10’s/lunches are time for myself. you shouldn’t feel bad for wanting your break to literally be a break from everyone around you. i love my coworkers but pls do not talk to me during those times idk why i’m just so picky about it and want to be left alone. op you’re not a jerk for wanting time to relax and be alone!

Nope, you’re still a human with free will.

The max I talk to someone at their 15 is 50 seconds to say a hi, max
