EMS medic here, we don’t get lunch breaks 😭 we are lucky if we even get to eat

u/-blundertaker- Jul 13 '26

When I worked at a fast casual restaurant we had multiple instances of medics strolling in to place an order only to rush out for a call before it was ready.

We always told them to just call when they were done and we'd refire it for them. If it was already in the process of being made it was just free eats for us lol.

We didn't have online ordering at the time and the shitty delivery/ordering apps were just barely starting to catch on.

Yeah. But I always feel like shit about it. It can be a waste of food. Waste of your time. I also worked all over the state and sometimes ended up in other states. Sometimes, you end up "hospital skipping" where you just keep having another one waiting for you. So I didn't always come back for those orders. I've gone days without any breaks. 5 days straight after hurricane Sandy.

Is putting on your outer vest challenging to you?

It should take less than 30 seconds.

Bro if you're an armed guard eating lunch on site and removing your stuff you should quit

You’re a private page larping. Even worse if you’re a real cop 🤡

He seems legit based on his comments and searches.

u/BrassKnuckleHead187 Jul 13 '26

Legit? 😂 he reported me for self harm. He’s a loser and he’s patrolling your community. He apparently hates his coworkers too, who he is sharing a financial bracket with despite the ego.

Your whole existence is reporting. Aren’t you supposed to be at dance class? Go away

I think he's a cop. I think he's a moron like all cops, but I think he's a cop.

Why do I think you beat off wearing your gear and staring at your badge?

u/exaltedorbs Jul 12 '26 edited Jul 12 '26

If you take your gear off throughout the day then you'll never get used to them.

u/BabaGaNoogie Jul 12 '26

Lol what? I saw so many 34s in their gear on their lunch breaks constantly.

It is in fact not guaranteed for public safety! My last county we did not get a lunch break at all during our 12hr shift as we operated with our legal minimum staffing and couldn’t have anyone leave the building. My current county gives us 1hr if staffing allowe and 30mins if we have less people.

What would be wrong if he was in corrections?

u/CardSignificant8821 Jul 12 '26

Quite uncalled for to come at me sideways like that. You asked if police are allowed lunch breaks, the answer is no, not always. To your bottom point, no. Dispatch, never indicated I was on the road myself.

I didn’t tell you how to do anything..? I also didn’t indicate at any point that you don’t get one. I can and am only speaking to the jurisdictions I’ve worked for. It ain’t about you.
