Well coincidentally I’ll need to take a 15 minute shit around the time when my 15 minute break used to be.
the boss makes a dollar, I make a dime.
that’s why I shit on company timeIt’s not company time if it’s unpaid.
Krispy Kreme Krew… that explains a lot.

Just bringing it up might get the breaks back. But fighting for better working conditions is always the right choice
Reclaim your workplace from the owners!
Better check your state laws. Paid breaks plus unpaid lunch are legally required depending on the state
unions are important
Honestly, never trust a company replacing C’s with K’s, especially if it contains alliteration. They will shy away from adding the 3rd K too publicly, but they know what it means.
hey hey
Krispy Kreme actually got in trouble for this once, because a UK based location went rogue and implemented a rewards program called the “Krispy Kreme Klub”.
I get two 10 min breaks in a 10 hr shift
Fuck America.
I think this is actually illegal in most states
Legal in my fucking bullshit state. Fucking fuck fuck fuck America.
Only illegal if anyone will actually do anything to protect the workers. Otherwise it’s just lip service
When your only option is getting fucked over, and you need to play it safe, destroy them one inch at a time.
Be asymmetrical. Be guerilla. Every single day.
Sleep in the cooler. After you huff all the nitrous from the whip cream.
Clean the toilets with bread flour
Unionize every workplace
in Germany it is required by law that you have a 30 minute break if you work for 6 or more hours, and that is federal minimum. Turbo-capitalism ruins a society
South Australia it depends on the Award (like a default contract for a particular kind of work, it sets minimum conditions)
But at a bare minimum, if you’re working at a shift of 4 hours or more, you’re required to be given a 15 minute paid tea break.
If you’re working 5 hours or more, Add a 30 minute unpaid lunch/dinner break.(*minimum, 1 hour max if scheduled - max as otherwise it’s really just split shifts)
The breaks worked similarly when I worked hourly shifts in the US:
- <= 6 hrs: 1x 15m paid break
- > 6 hrs: 1x 30m unpaid lunch, 2x 15m paid breaks
It was most common to be scheduled for 6 hr shifts so the company could avoid paying for the extra break.
This is similar in California. Tho to clarify, this is a 30 minute break that is unpaid.
ruins a society
Good thing we don’t have one of those.
Is that not what’s happening here? 5 or more hours you get a 30 minute break
Boycott Krispy Kreme, get healthy.
The donut shops around me are so much better anyway, so even if you don’t want to get healthy, there’s probably better options.
Dedicated doughnut places are insanely expensive here, but Kroger of all places has some quite good cake doughnuts. Their yeast ones suck, though.
I think its time to kwit.
wE cAN’t FiNd GOod HeLp!
For feedback, I would just print off the federal labor codes for my country, highlighting specific sections. I’d just hand it to the management verbatim. I wouldn’t cherry pick or leave anything out, just emphasize specific passages.
Guess what? That’s illegal here.
It would be a thinly veiled threat that I’ll ruin their lives if they don’t back track immediately… All said without uttering a single syllable.
‘effectively immediately’. Fuckers can’t even use correct words.
When does it go into effect?
“Pretty much right now, basically?”
I assume they mean an unpaid 30 minute break but if they live on technicalities you can too
