Thread regarding Sam's Club layoffs

Policy states 6 hours you MUST take a lunch. If the COS refuses to allow it open door it up the chain.. they can get in trouble for not allowing you your breaks and lunch and YOU could get in trouble if you skip them willingly.

I had this happen to me before. I was 6 hours into my shift and the CM herself told me I could not take a lunch until more was done. 2 of us had been working non-stop for 6 hours and she tried to refuse my lunch. I went back and worked for 10 more minutes then told her I got someone to cover me and I was going to lunch. I did not really have anyone to cover me but she never knew that since all she did was walk around pushing people to their breaking point. Sam's is a BS company.

Fake news. I also work with him and he took a lunch

Well in my opinion the COS did nothing wrong. You have a job to do and although the mule was broken you still have a responsibility. Now, they could've have sent you some help if there were other associates available but you have to understand that if you just went on lunch with the vestibule empty that same COS that told you to go on lunch would of gotten in trouble by his/her manager. We all have a job to do and instead of pointing the finger and thinking someone is a bad person put yourself in their shoes. Thats what i think of this situation

Fake news. I work with this cart guy. He took his lunch

Thank you for what you do. It's a tough job in both summer and winter. I hope they are providing water for the cart pushers there...if not, they should be.

Talk to manager and co tact ethics if not resolved. His cos can't stop you from getting a lunch. Its against company policy

That is exactly what some of these so-called lead cos's or lead front end or lead this or lead that do! And it is illegal not to give you a lunch and 2 breaks if you work an 8 and maybe even 7 hour day. This is the monster home office created when they decided to have fewer managers and allow team leads to make decisions. My guess is that you have one that thinks they are important in some way and you probably aren't one of their favs. Walmart/Sam's has been sued many times for this type of c-ap. Don't let it go...be sure to talk to your assistant mgr and then gm. Make sure they know that you will not stand for that type of treatment. Good luck.

Labor board

I'm a team lead and there is no set time for member assist to go to lunch. Cart guys take care of their own breaks. We don't have a cart pusher either. Some days we only have one cart guy. He takes his own breaks and manages to keep enough carts inside. Your team lead sound like a real power crazed d—ster.

Grow a set and go to lunch..there is no such rule..

Talk with you Club Manager. Give him or her a chance too look into it, then contact Corporate if the issue wasn’t handle at policy level.

2hrs break, 2hrs lunch, 2hrs break

Everyone is entitled to lunch or break with or without carts. Report her/him to store manager and email district manager as well. No one should be treated like that especially in this heat
