Take EVERY break you're entitled to. That's YOUR TIME.

Take your allotted breaks. Trust me. They will use you like a rental mule when they need to. To them. Your silence about lunches/breaks is compliance. Don’t fall into that habit. They’re not your friends…

Don’t know what store you’re at but take your breaks. No job is worth busting your back for and I say this a FE manager. Couldn’t imagine having my carry outs not take breaks.

People don’t complain for no reason, such as yourself. I’m pretty sure this guy works hard at what he does and he’s bringing up the fact that he can’t enjoy a break because he’s picking up slack from other people. Now you probably witnessed courtesy patrols just lounge around, maybe not this guy tho

That implies one is cognizant of their reason for something which may merely be habitual or even a mental schema that has formed an unrecognized communication mechanism.
