That's illegal. You're allowed 2 15 minute breaks and a 30 minute lunch break. I'd look for a better job, your manager sounds like a real hard ass.

Oh I Know they (this is a multiple manager problem) frequently "ask" (make) us to do fuckin illegal shit all the time. they love to postpone our meal breaks or make us take them at shitty times because theyre too fuckin incompetent to schedule things properly ie "you cant take a break until 5 hours after your shift start because youre our only cashier til then" or "you cant take a break rn because theres still unpacked boxes out on the floor [because we've given too few people too big of a task so theres perpetually boxes on the floor]" or just blatantly ignoring people when they ask for their break. we're legally mandated those 2 15s and i have only ever gotten 1 when i deliberately extend my lunch by those 15 minutes. or when i hide in the fucking bathroom. i need to quit so bad but theres fucking NOTHING ELSE in bumfuck central florida and its making me suicidal aqwsedrftgyhujik

its honestly really funny tho to try and tell my parents how much it Blows and them be like "well thats just retail" IT REALLY ISNT im not even technically a retail worker im a guy who unloads a truck overnight and also a cashier in the daytime because thats how sorely this godawful place needs people they cant keep the 2 roles separate anymore

direct action: hiding in the bathrooms when your managers have worked you for 5 hours and havent given you a lunch break yet for absolutely 0 reason
