They make you take timers for your 10? 😳
benevolentchainsaw 90 points 1y ago
my sm is starting to have people do that, I just make a point of being like “hey Siri, start a timer for ten minutes” when I walk away with my food and drink. Especially if you ONLY get a ten on your shift, you should get ten minutes of sitting and eating or chilling or whatever u want

Shifts seem to last so much longer when you only get a 10.
FairestGuin 68 points 1y ago
Especially when you get that lovely five hour and 45 minutes shift with only a 10. Like I'm 15 minutes away from getting a lunch, so having just that 10 really eats at me.
Available_Motor5980 18 points 1y ago
Lmao they used to do that to me at Chick-fil-A, except it was either 6+ hours and a 30 minute break, or less than 6 hours and no break. And I would get scheduled 5-10:45 :(
jakhei 6 points 1y ago
Whatttttt? What state are you in? Here you have to have a 30 for anything over 5 hours.
PhilosophyWizard 35 points 1y ago
That timer is giving me ptsd especially on my 10

But that pumpkin foam
Coffeeaftersex 9 points 1y ago
Yeah well barely today, but then weeks later they will forget and we won't have timers. The cycle repeats.
BabeLincoln420 29 points 1y ago
10s should be 15s….personally i always take 15s lol
Thunderlight2004 16 points 1y ago
Idk, starting your 10 once you have your food and everything together is fair, but unless the rest of your store is ok with it stretching to 15min is kind of a dick move
BabeLincoln420 7 points 1y ago
fair point and they are, we are a pretty slow store

Can someone actually clarify the break system in the US?
We don’t have 10s in Canada. On a full shift (8 hours) we get two paid 15s and an unpaid 30
noeyoureatowel 9 points 1y ago
It varies from state to state, because of course it does. In CA, it’s as follows: shifts under 5 hours get a paid 10; shifts between 5 and 7 hours get a paid 10 and an unpaid 30; and shifts of 7 hours or more get two paid 10s and an unpaid 30.
BabeLincoln420 6 points 1y ago
same thing expect the 15s are 10s
melodiic_ -22 points 1y ago
people like you are the reason that people end up having to take timers with them on break. the world doesn't revolve around you, your supervisor has other people to send on break and a schedule to keep. don't be THAT person who ruins breaks for the rest of the team.
BabeLincoln420 15 points 1y ago
still taking my 10s as 15s and everyone should too
melodiic_ -20 points 1y ago
ok, hope you like getting written up for time theft!
BabeLincoln420 15 points 1y ago
i’ll take my chances pal….ya know it’s stupid me and you are fighting about this, the real fight should be us against corporate to change all 10s to 15s company wide
madamesoybean 25 points 1y ago
I'll never understand why it's a 10 & not a 15.
jams1015 23 points 1y ago
What a good idea, taking the timer for your 10! I spend probably accumulate a loss of a whole minute of my ten, checking to see if I need to rejoin the circus yet.

I wish I got half as excited about life as you did this photo
Coffeeaftersex 12 points 1y ago
I'm only using a timer because my shift wants us to 🥴 and no it is not foam, I suppose the Nitro cold brew came out thick today ❤
icedalmondmilkchai 10 points 1y ago
is that…pumpkin foam ☃️
kqs13 4 points 1y ago
All stores should be getting shipments sometime in the next couple weeks since it does launch fairly soon... can't wait for that foam omg
icedalmondmilkchai 2 points 1y ago
neither can i. i go back and forth between iced black coffe, an iced chai, matcha here and there and maybe a caramel doppio, BUT THAT SHIT is sooo good and i would drink it everyday if i could, no questions asked
kqs13 3 points 1y ago
Me too! I love it over an iced shaken espresso with a couple scoops of vanilla bean powder and a pump of chai! Would highly recommend. Fall in a cup, haha
icedalmondmilkchai 1 points 1y ago

Coffeeaftersex 1 points 1y ago
