What did she do originally that was illegal?

That OP took a break they weren’t legally required to get because they were working a short shift?

Like they said, they thought they were closing. They didn't know they were on a short shift...

Also depending on the state they could still have a legally required break for the number of hours they worked.

So OP goofed and rather than just accept it and wrap half their sandwich back up, jumped immediately to telling their supervisor they were breaking the law

Depending on what state they are in they can still have a legally required break that they were denied. E.g. California.

But like, maybe you should go read their post again because it sounds like you clearly didn't understand parts of it.

I understand it, it’s just more of the same “management always bad, workers never wrong” on Reddit. Taking even some accountability goes a long way

I'm not sure why you are hellbent on assuming they were not legally required to get a break. There are a ton of state laws that require breaks.

It's not. She was wrong. He was wrong. I was right.

I didn't goof, she was wrong, and I only pointed out the law after a few minutes of polite (on my side at least) talking.

I had already worked the 6 hours minimum to require me to take a 10. I was very aware of the law because the upper management had been getting very strict about making sure employees were taking their state-mandated breaks. I was actually trying to help her not get in trouble at first.
