Boycott Krispy Kreme, get healthy.
The donut shops around me are so much better anyway, so even if you don’t want to get healthy, there’s probably better options.
Dedicated doughnut places are insanely expensive here, but Kroger of all places has some quite good cake doughnuts. Their yeast ones suck, though.

Just bringing it up might get the breaks back. But fighting for better working conditions is always the right choice
Reclaim your workplace from the owners!
in Germany it is required by law that you have a 30 minute break if you work for 6 or more hours, and that is federal minimum. Turbo-capitalism ruins a society
South Australia it depends on the Award (like a default contract for a particular kind of work, it sets minimum conditions)
But at a bare minimum, if you’re working at a shift of 4 hours or more, you’re required to be given a 15 minute paid tea break.
If you’re working 5 hours or more, Add a 30 minute unpaid lunch/dinner break.(*minimum, 1 hour max if scheduled - max as otherwise it’s really just split shifts)
ruins a society
Good thing we don’t have one of those.
This is similar in California. Tho to clarify, this is a 30 minute break that is unpaid.
Is that not what’s happening here? 5 or more hours you get a 30 minute break
The breaks worked similarly when I worked hourly shifts in the US:
- <= 6 hrs: 1x 15m paid break
- > 6 hrs: 1x 30m unpaid lunch, 2x 15m paid breaks
It was most common to be scheduled for 6 hr shifts so the company could avoid paying for the extra break.
unions are important
First eye roll was at ‘Krew’
I get two 10 min breaks in a 10 hr shift
Fuck America.
When your only option is getting fucked over, and you need to play it safe, destroy them one inch at a time.
Be asymmetrical. Be guerilla. Every single day.
I think this is actually illegal in most states
Legal in my fucking bullshit state. Fucking fuck fuck fuck America.
Only illegal if anyone will actually do anything to protect the workers. Otherwise it’s just lip service
Better check your state laws. Paid breaks plus unpaid lunch are legally required depending on the state
Honestly, never trust a company replacing C’s with K’s, especially if it contains alliteration. They will shy away from adding the 3rd K too publicly, but they know what it means.
hey hey
Krispy Kreme actually got in trouble for this once, because a UK based location went rogue and implemented a rewards program called the “Krispy Kreme Klub”.
‘effectively immediately’. Fuckers can’t even use correct words.
When does it go into effect?
“Pretty much right now, basically?”
wE cAN’t FiNd GOod HeLp!
I think its time to kwit.
Well coincidentally I’ll need to take a 15 minute shit around the time when my 15 minute break used to be.
the boss makes a dollar, I make a dime.
that’s why I shit on company timeIt’s not company time if it’s unpaid.
If this is to be believed, does it make an employee a “Krispy Kreme Krew?”
Yes, but please abbreviate to save toner.
Glazed power?
“Dear mngt, the kkk wants privileges again”
Gotta pay for those executive bonuses somehow…
I would interpret this to mean that your 15 minute break is now a 30 minute break.
wait…is that not whats happening? i am confused.
The 15 minute break is paid, the 30 is unpaid. They used to get both, but now its down to the 1 break and its unpaid. Pretty shitty.
