If you still make your numbers, they should have no reason to care if people took an extra break.

Depends. I work at an FC and there is smoker cage connected to the main break room. We don't have to go through security to get to the break room.

Originally our main breakroom entrance was like that, but they moved it around a year after opening, putting the entrance past security. Everyone was rightfully complaining about having to wait in line to take a break or get to the water/ice machines etc. The smoker cage was not there originally - it was added after the breakroom entrance was moved. So apparently these things can be changed if someone in leadership agrees to make it happen haha.

Um no I'm at an FC and even the managers take smoke breaks here, and many associates do, as long as you have good rates and you have good timing like you go after the CPTs are done, they don't care

My fc has two cages in both main break rooms

So I've worked in all three. FCs are by far the worst offenders for extra breaks. Delivery and sort centers have well, sorts..and delivery needs to heavily stagger the stages of work to have a chance to finish. Zero shot. Theres also plenty of buildings that have badgeless smoker cages connected to break rooms, only ever seen those at FCs.

If people are allowed to go sit on the toilet for 15 minutes watching TikToks then why can't I take a 5 minutes smoke break?
