Here’s a lil ditty to remember:
“They make a dollar, I make a dime. Aaaand that’s why I poop on company tiiiiime”

i always pee on company time

i don’t think it really matters. just don’t say you’re back and then immediately go to the bathroom, that’s kind of annoying. but also if anyone is tracking your bathroom habits that closely they’re a fuckin weirdo lol.

as my trainer told me on my first day in reference to 10 min breaks, "you get paid to pee, those 10 minutes are all yours."

I give a fiveinute grace period around breaks for baristas to gather snacks/drinks and pee. Anything outside of that really starts to cut in to your fellow baristas breaks. This should be standard. Its why we schedule tens on the 15 of every hour

Oh I always clock in before using the bathroom. A couple minutes extra off the floor never hurts lol

Most of the time it’s okay but if a lot of people are behind on breaks just be mindful of them too. Just because if everyone takes extended breaks it can add up and that suck when it’s been a super busy day or something happened where breaks are behind. I sometimes get my break like 30+minutes later than expected cause when I run my floors I make sure my baristas have their breaks caught up first

"Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That's why I poop on company time."

As long as you *make your shift aware that you are using the bathroom* it’s fine. Your 10s and 30s are your time. That being said, I’d try to make sure it isn’t too busy before using the bathroom, as that puts fellow baristas in a worse position

i always make sure to go to the bathroom on the clock lol my break is for eating and looking at my phone

I see a lot of people on here saying "boss makes a dollar...."

Just remember, it's not the company you are hurting. You're making it more difficult for your shift to give out breaks to your fellow baristas.

That being said, I give a bit of a grace period to my baristas as well, but please don't clock back in from your thirty and spend another 10 minutes in/waiting for the bathroom.

Lol nope I always clock back in and immediately go to the restroom. Fuck that “looking like an asshole” they should be doing the same!!!

I ALWAYS pee (or poop, honestly) on company time, following my 10s/lunch breaks. I pretty much use the bathroom every time I finish my break just so I do not have to inconveniently go during my shift. Usually, I’ll either use the bathroom while I’m waiting on my drink/food to be made by my coworkers, or I will clock back in and use the bathroom before hitting the floor again. Sometimes I’ll even tell my co-workers that I’m using the bathroom real quick before coming back on the floor. They rarely ever care. The only people who are ever anal about bathroom breaks on company time are a*skissers who want to work their way up in the company and be rule-police.

Space it out. That little microbreak of almost silence to use the bathroom is fucking golden.

There's no policy dictating you must only bathroom on your breaks and there's many areas with laws that you cannot count bathroom time as break time.

I only really care if you go to the bathroom while you’re stationed on the floor without making sure anyone is covering you or that someone has okayed you going. I’m not gonna make you hold it in for an hour but I want a heads up that my window person is leaving for five minutes so I can get someone to hand stuff out

I had a co worker get mad at me for using the bathroom 3 times during my 8 hour shift, not my fault I have to stay hydrated to do my job behind a hot bar during the summer heat. I only go on my breaks if I REALLY can’t hold it, it’s immature to think adults can use the bathroom when they need to

I always make it a point to do my business ON the clock 🤣

I be going to the bathroom after I clock in 😳

I wouldn't necessarily plan it specifically right after your meal breaks. A lot of time someone else's break is waiting on you to get back, or someone else was waiting on using the restroom to get their position covered, etc. Making them wait extra time because you couldn't use the restroom on your break sounds rude, to me. Like to me, stuff like that is what breaks are for.

Also as a SS, I was usually making sure I wasn't in the middle of something when I was expecting someone on so I could check in with them and get them placed. Having to then wait for someone to use a restroom is definitely a "why couldn't you just use the restroom before" feeling.

Also as a thought, I wouldn't eat a meal outside of my break if I could eat a meal on my break. But if I had unexpected low blood sugar or something a snack outside of a break is cool (like a restroom break between breaks.) I'm not sure I have an argument for why restroom usage is different. 10's I care less about because they are just so gosh darn short, that restroom / snack / rehydrate / get off your feel at all just isn't possible.

Basically: if a coworker is waiting on you for something, I think it's rude to not use the restroom on a 30 or before work. If it's a slow day or overstaffed or whatever I couldn't care less.

i always poo on company time u will not see my counting my poo time as a break

The only time I wait for my break to use the restroom is if I know I’m gonna be in there for a long time and it’s between the hours of 7am-1pm

I always use the bathroom when I'm on the clock. I rarely work long shifts that require a lunch, but when I have to pee isn't really up to me - it's my bladder lol

For me I try to go potty before I leave my house for work. If it's peak I won't go unless I really can't hold it but if we aren't busy I don't ever feel bad for going. I wouldn't specifically wait to clock back in from lunch to go to the restroom like if you gotta go during your 30 just go but also like I said don't feel bad for needing to go on the clock.

Always clock back in then go to the restroom before coming back on the floor
