[QUOTE="brett636, post: 1266566, member: 249"] Lunches and breaks are not there for the company's benefit, but for your own. My personal feelings are if I am waiting on a customer, equipment, or other unrelated issue I am staying on the clock because I am waiting to perform work, and if I am on break or lunch I shed all my responsibilities to perform said work including waiting until that lunch/break is over. Personally I refuse to play the game of going off the clock everytime the wheels aren't moving because eventually that can start to get ridiculous. If you want to use your break strategically thats fine, but I wouldn't take it at the customers location. Take it somewhere on the way and get there around 1900 to make the pickup. If you have already taken your lunch/break by this time then tell the company that they can send the work to someone else if they don't want you waiting, but going off the clock for the 2nd time just for the company's benefit isn't possible.
