      Or just not given a state-mandated break at all.

      In my state, employers are mandated to give employees one 30-minute (unpaid) break and two 15-minute paid breaks for every 8 hour shift. If you’re not getting those 15-minute paid breaks (and a lot of people aren’t, especially if they don’t smoke), you’re a victim of wage theft. Your employer is stealing half your hourly wage from you every single workday.
