[QUOTE="vvv, post: 5327360, member: 63825"] Dude!! This company has told EVERYONE a MILLION TIMES or more to STAY HYDRATED!! Therefore they are DIRECTING you as part of your JOB to drink plenty of fluids, mainly water...and stay hydrated. And if you run out of water and need to stop and buy more THAT IS PART OF THE JOB!! And guess what...what happens when you drink a lot water? YESSS....you need to stop and take pee pee breaks whenever needed. And guess what....because you were directed to drink plenty of water going pee pee is a direct result of that job order.....so you DO NOT need to punch out for that either!! I have read many of your posts over time but never comment on them, but I guess now is the time. You speak SO MUCH about being the victim of bullying on here. I find it clearly obvious that you bring it upon yourself. If a long time veteran is worried about or is getting bullied for water breaks whether it's the act of buying or drinking it, then it is on you for being a company punching bag and allowing it to happen for so long that they can even think of broaching that subject with you. Her is a perfect example of how "I" operate.....maybe you can learn something. Years ago I had an 8 hour request in. Clowns in shop decided to over grease my back door and rails on a relatively newer truck. Junk was getting on the boxes on top shelf if they rubbed on rails or door going up and down. So when I finished my route I stayed on my area and ON THE CLOCK and went into Auto Zone and bought a can of degreaser along with 2 rolls of those nice blue shop towels and proceeded to clean the back door til it was perfectly white again, and wiped clean all the rails from the bottom to where it loops over your head to remove all the goop...and any any crevice I deemed had too much buildup. And I did it for TWO HOURS-ON THE CLOCK-AND NOBODY SAID A PEEP. If you or anybody you know let someone get fired over getting water that's a damn simple shame and extremely weak. Especially when it's in the records that you are directed to. Judging from many posts on here over time I just can't get a grasp of how many pushover and play dead locals there are around the country supposedly representing us. (although definitely not where I am at) I don't blame the company at all for what they do and abuse people and contracts. We simply allow them to get away with too much and don't have nearly enough members with any semblance of guts to take a stand. To the weak.....enjoy sleeping in that rock hard bed that you made for yourself. Mine is soft n cushy.....just the way I like it. [/QUOTE]
