When I was 16 I worked at Walmart. I was a smoker, and took my break in the indoor smoke break room, I mention that because my manager didn’t smoke, and so we rarely saw her. I would eat my lunch while listening to books on tale through headphones/Walkman.
After about 6 months my manager started smoking again, and she made me stop listening to my books on tape and claimed it was unprofessional and the optics were bad.
Optics for fucking who? It’s an indoor break room! No customers are seeing me. I’m on a fucking break. But no. Signs went up, no headphones in the break room. No books in the break room. It was fucking awful.
