This pops out at me and raises an argument I frequently had with managers when I worked in restaurants. >Managers will have to make sure workers are taking breaks. I almost never wanted to take a break while working for an hourly wage. I realize I am an exception, and I do not intend to raise issue with the requirement that breaks be offered, but I do find it odd that it is someone's job to ensure that I do not do something I want to do, and that my employer would prefer I do. When working hourly, breaks tend to entail time spent in an unappealing space, without much time to do anything worthwhile, and not getting paid to do so. Particularly with waiting tables, even a 30 minute break in a slow time would probably lose me 1-3 tables which could translate to anywhere from $3-$30. At an hourly rate, that's a decent chunk. If anything I'd prefer to work a shift that is simply a half hour shorter, so I could actually go home and do things I'd like to do, rather than sit in a dingy breakroom while losing money.
