Start work at 9am, my scheduled morning break was at 9:50-10am. Then wait until 2:30 until lunch, then afternoon break was at 4:50-5pm. End of day was 5pm. And I couldn't actually leave at 4:50, because I was still on the clock at that time, I had to go outside or to the breakroom for my 10 minute break, then walk all the way back across the building to clock out at 5pm, then walk all the way back to where I just was to leave. And god forbid you actually ask to get different breaktimes or lunchtime, because "But, that's the way the schedule is. Your breaks at at 9:50 and 4:50, with lunch at 2:30. Other people have different time, those are the ones assigned to you." It really was like talking to someone out of the movie Officespace, except it was a bookstore. Trying to explain why it makes no sense to have breaktimes scheduled 50 minutes after you arrive and 10 minutes before you leave just got blank stares. Needless to say, I left that job after only a few weeks. Other regulations were also totally useless and bizarre. You were able to have 3 pens OR 3 pencils at the cash register, but not both. If you needed one of the others, you had to go sign it out from the managers office supply closet. The really weird thing was, I had worked at another store in the same company for several years, and they had none of these bizarre rules.</p></blockquote><p></p>
