[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 894881, member: 4653"] The way I look at is: Don't force me to take an hour lunch in the freezing cold and I won't idle your truck. Doesn't this seem fair? I mean who wants an hour lunch when it extends your day to 7 or 8 pm and its 25 degrees below zero with the wind chill. I won't idle your truck if you don't force me to sit in the cold when I'm a route that is not near a warm place. Still, how can you ask me to take a lunch "somewhere warm"? What if there is a Mcdonalds on my route and you instruct me to take lunch there? How can you ask me to do that? Nobody can eat that crap everyday so you are asking us to be vagrants just to help YOU out. Not fair to be asked to do that I say An hour lunch is great when its 75 degrees and the sun shining until 9 pm. Again, who wants to waste the hour of sunlight for lunch in the winter? In January, here in the northeast, it gets bone chilling cold once that sun goes down and just wish management would let us take what we need for lunch and not the entire hour. It would benefit them also (unless they are banking on lunch-runners which is why, I'm sure, they insist on the entire hour) because we are more productive in the day light and less likely to get injured with a slip and fall. All that snow that may have melted during the day freezes on walkways making a more hazardous situation compared to using that walkway at 2pm. You would think this would make sense but its UPS and nothing make sense. At least not to me????? [/QUOTE]
