I just finished my shift 1. It was eight and a half hours. No lunch, no breaks." She said, "That's inhuman 2! That's inhumane! That's illegal! They can't make you work for over eight hours straight without even one break! You need to call a lawyer right now." He said, "I'm too tired to call a lawyer. Besides, who can afford one?

I think I ate one of everything we sell." She said, "You're not tired from working. You're tired from eating!"
