Isn't that *ILLEGAL*?!?!?

Today was my first day working at Subway. Now I know a bit about restaurant management and the different laws/health code regulations, and saw enough going on today to have this Subway shut down!

The two biggest violations I saw were:

-I am scheduled for 4 and 1/2 hours every day, Monday through Friday, with no break. Washington State Law requires a 10-minute break for every 4 hours worked, plus a 30-minute lunch break for shifts over 6 hours. I was informed today that they justdidn't give breaks at Subway because they couldn't predict when customers were coming in.

Bullpucky. It's the LAW.

-Secondly, today was my very first day. They put me to work IMMEDIATELY, with no Food Handler's license. Also, they didn't have me fill out a W2. Both of these are pieces of paperwork are the types of things that not only result in getting shut down, but ALSO result in some very hefty fines!

So now I have to decide... get the restaurant shut down (cutting off my only form of income), or just go with it? What would you do?

Yeah, but if there's *money* to be made out of this (via a Lawsuit), that's what I want to know!
