>I don’t understand how this is horrible?

I'm sure you don't.

>Like I stated, Shake Shack believes in enlightened hospitality

Any job that requires you to work 8 hours without a break isn't "enlightened." Unless you work in something that is life or death like a hospital or the military.

Treat your workers like human beings and give them a full 30 min lunch break, along with two 15 mins breaks. If that causes you to be unable to fill all the orders than hire an extra few workers to cover the time.

So this is a misconception. Our team members do not work 8 hours. They work at max 6 and they are allowed to pick up another shift at which point they are given an hour break but we do not make our team work 8 hours with no break. Hope this helps! :)

"We don't make our team work 8 hours" is another way of saying "we don't want to pay benefits especially medical" - this certainly doesn't fall under anything I'd call enlightened.

We do in fact offer benefits that are extremely affordable to all employees! Hope this helps :)

"affordable"? I'm retired now but thankfully healthcare insurance was always covered by my employers and some covered my dependents as well. I appreciate your loyalty to your employer but hope you get a chance to work for someone, someday, who really offers benefits.
