[QUOTE="IWorkAsDirected, post: 289596, member: 13559"] For the first 5-6 years I worked I never took a break, ate a sandwich as I sorted my resis. Then I added up what I was losing in $ one hour everyday, I became a little more secure in my position and told my center manager that I was going to start taking my one hour lunch and I was not going to take it after unloading my pu. He made a joke out of it and ridiculed me in front of others saying oh, so what you doing over at the chevron everyday. Well, that's where I was sorting my resis at 6:30 pm and eating my sandwich. I took my lunch at noon after delivering nda and missed a whole street of businesses (industrial route) two days in a row. Guess what? Somebody else got that street after that. Now I have a mostly residential route (not for long pas goes in a week from Monday) I still take my full hour lunch even tho they only take out what we record now, and we are required to take at least 1/2 hour. I take the full hour because I know if I don't they will give me more work. I enjoy that break, and sometimes it just isn't long enough so I take my 15 paid break also. I sit inside at a table in a Chevron (a different one) and eat my lunch and read the paper, it's the highlight of my day (next to handing out dog treats to all my four-footed friends) [/QUOTE]
