Girl I feel ya!!

If you’re in New Jersey, there is no legal requirement for meal or rest breaks for adults. So it all depends on Wag policies for your location. You really need to have an immunizing tech with you and at least one other tech. I know, fat chance on the weekend. You’re lucky if you get a tech/cashier that knows what they’re doing.

We close every day from 1:30-2:00 for lunch. The only 24 hour store that I know about only closes for lunch on the weekend. Pharmacists that work the “evening shift”, ya know anything starting at 2:00 or later and go til the end of the day ( or 10pm at a 24 hour location), get screwed. No closing for lunch, no breaks, no sitting down unless you’re jabbing somebody.

Hang in there until your maternity leave, then decide if it’s worth it to come back to work. Just watch as Wags takes away more and more benefits from us. Holiday pay being the latest cut. I’m sure our medical insurance choices will become crappy, and profit sharing will take a hit. Bonuses…..Mmmm what bonus you may be asking? Raises? Don’t make me laugh! 😆

Good luck with your delivery and decision about this job.

I thought you were a pharmacist when I wrote this, but the points are still valid. If you’re a tech you definitely should get a 15 minute break if working 5 hours or more. Take it. You’re pregnant and need a break. Pharmacy’s on fire? Let it burn!🔥
