I was working on 11-19 Sunday night from 2:00-7:15 at Family Dollar, In N. Ridgeville. Ohio. At around 4:15 pm my family brung up to me dinner since I didnt eat anything thinking that I would have at least a 15min break. I approach the asst. Manager and asked when I could go on break to eat my dinner, she went on to reply, "Did I discuss this with the manager"? I was not sure what she ment. I replied discuss what? She replied going on break. I said I cant have a break? She said we dont give breaks but Ill let you eat that, but you have to take this up with the manager of the store. I replied since when does an employee of a store notallowed to take a break to eat? She replied Every store is diiferent and here you have to wrk 6hrs to get a 15min. Break. I replied I never heard anything like that before. She seemed very upset and left me in the back room where I felt confused. I looked around the back stock room for a place to set so I could scarf down the food so she wouldn't be so mad but there was no where to set. The table that looked like a lunch table was cover with junk and boxes. The whole back stock room was a mess. I was very hungry any more after incountering this with her so I took One bite of my meal and then closed the lid and retured up front where my family was, And they asked wow you ate that fast. I replied I wasn't allowed to eat it. The thought I was joking and I went on to tell them what had just happened. They could not believe such a thing. I called my husband and told him what had happened and he could not believe it either. He then told me to quit. Theres no need to wrk in a place that does not respect you enough, not to let you eat.
