TikToker's Comment Section Blows Up After Sharing How He Takes His 15-Minute Breaks At Walmart
If you've ever worked in retail or customer service, then you know how it is on your shorter breaks.
If you've ever worked at a retail job, then you should know about the break system and typically what's involved. Many places have a 30-minute or one-hour lunch, along with usually two smaller breaks of ten or fifteen minutes.
Walmart is no exception to this break rule, but it seems that people like to take their own kinds of breaks when working at Walmart, based on all the comments that this video received. That being said, we've seen it before where people extend their breaks or make jokes about taking extra breaks, and this guy went viral on TikTok for discussing his Walmart breaks.

NeshiaaaaI've never worked for Walmart, but this would definitely be me. It looks like he's not the only one thinking this way, though.

Yep, exactly, but I'm sure the bosses are monitoring the timing of others' breaks.

I think most of us would probably take advantage of the ability to just walk around the store as a kind of "break."
If you've worked for Walmart, what do you think about this? I think we can all admit to doing this at least once in our lives.

I'm actually not even surprised by how many people extended their breaks or lied about them because I think all of us have done this at least once.
It's really crazy because clearly everyone who has worked in retail, or at least in Walmart, shares similar experiences.

I'm sure a lot of people actually take longer breaks, and honestly, they probably deserve it.

After reading this entire post and watching the video, I think we can all agree that breaks at work are not long enough at all, and it literally feels like they last only two seconds. Whether or not he was exaggerating in the video is up to him, but it seems that all the other Walmart employees agree with him.
Have you ever extended your break because you felt it wasn't long enough?
