Shaun_300 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Just curious to see how long people have if they work for lunch. Mine is an hour, 12:00-1:00. A lot of people at work hate it and wish they only had a 1/2 hour. I think it's great though. I can come home for lunch, make something, eat at a relaxed pace and come on the forums for a bit.

Griz Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Well it all depends on whats going on here but I usally get an 1 1/2 to 2 hour lunch break... I'm in most of the time from 11:30 to 1:30... It gives me time to eat and make what phone calls I need to make while I'm here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 We used to get 42 minutes, but we have a new schedule this year and our break has been cut down to 28 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kid Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 usually from 12:30 to 1:00 depending how long we roll the dice!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okiedog Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Mine is 11-12. I have gone to lunch at this time for the past 15+ years. Everyone thinks that is way to early, but everyone has their lunch specials going by 11 and I can usually get in and out of places before the lunch rush hits.

Muff Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 we work 12 hour shift...we get 2 10 minute breaks and 2 1/2 hour breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJR Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Let me see. Yesterday it was about 2 hours. Today it might be about 2 1/2 hours! I am usually pretty tuckered out after lunch, so it will call for a nap of about 45 minutes! Tough "working" conditions! Of course, there is always the wife who will interrupt the whole schedule if she can and DOES! LOL! It's great not to have to have any schedule at all!

Jeramie Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Typically its 12:00 to 1:00. Sometimes if Im headed back from the shop ill add another thirty minutes to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I usually just stick to the 1/2 hour....but if I want a full hour I can have it.... Of course I work about 1 minute from my house so I can be home and have my lunch ate in about 10 minutes....So then the next 19 I can do whatever I want Plus a 1/2 lunch allows me to leave and head home a 1/2 earlier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 11 to 11:30 for me.It's not strictly enforced for office personnel though.If I run uptown sometimes it takes an extra 10 or so minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacherman Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 usually my job revolves around lunch! Taking and going out with church members and prospective members for lunch, so sometimes 15 minutes, sometimes 1 to 2 hours. Usually I try to go somewhere around 11 a.m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unioncountyslayer Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 During my most busy months (late Spring through Summer) I usually just eat in the truck. But this time of the year, I don't even wear a watch. Could be an hour, could last all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scottishhunter Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 For me working in Glasgow airport specifically British Airways flights Im lucky if I get 15 mins because with aviation anything can go wrong.

Guest csod08 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 In my school we get 27 minutes. At my summer job we get an hour and sometimes I would rather take a shorter lunch and leave earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Supposedly it's an hour somewhere between 12:30 and 2:30..........whenever the truck lets me. But in reality it's been none at all since before Thanksgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravin R10 man Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I dont stop for lunch..I can eat on the run while Im working..no wasted time here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant-KS Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 During the summer we take off from 11:30-12:00. Now, while I was working for my bro., we just took off about an hour or so and went to the local country restaurant. When I work for the auto dealer (3 miles from home), I usually just take 45 min. or so off, run home, make lunch and head back. All this to say...However long we feel like taking in the winter, and 30 min. in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
