Cashier forced to clock out late for lunch break after their cover fails to arrive on time, gets reprimanded by store manager, leading cashier to leave the register unattended: ‘They wanted me to skip my break’

If there is one thing I disliked about working as a retail cashier, it was that I was essentially tied to the cash register. I could never just go to the bathroom if I needed to; I had to have someone stand in my place and cover for me. This meant that I had to call someone, usually only when there was a lull in customers, wait until they finished with whatever they were doing, go as quickly as possible to do my business, and come right back to stand behind the register.

When it came to taking lunch, I rarely got to take it whenever I wanted to. It always depended on when others took their lunch, because I had to have someone take my place while I left for the break room, which meant that I was always the last to go on break.

If there were a system in place, in which employees had a set time for lunch and an employee to cover them, you would think that breaks wouldn't be as much of issue. Yet the story below proves that it is not always the case…
