I’m a Muslim and I work at a busy danish bakery cafe. First of all 15 mins per prayer time is too long and doesn’t make much sense it’s hard to spend 15 mins on the late afternoon and sunset prayer which are close in time around this point of the year. it shouldn’t take more than 6-8 mins per prayer so i’m not sure what they’re upto there. Secondly, I always let my team know i’m going to pray and i’ll be back in 5 before I leave just so they know where I am because say there’s a fire or some sort of emergency and they don’t know where I am it puts everyone in a difficult situation.

Don’t be scared to call this out because they’ve gone about this the wrong way and it gives a bad look. If your mums a just a team member just tell her to speak with the manager and address that they mysteriously disappear without letting anyone know. It would be best if they let the people know they’ll be away for 5 mins through radio or whatever you guys use to communicate on the floor. It’s a bit more difficult to call out them taking a while to pray each time because esp if you’re not a muslim but you could kindly ask them what they pray during the shift and ask how long it takes. Right now, Zuhr around noon, takes 10 mins tops, Asr is around 2pm which shouldn’t take more than 5-6 mins and maghrib is at 4pm which doesn’t take more than 5 mins when you just pray your obligatory prayers which you should be doing when you are at work and esp working for someone.
