Only in Japan...

...are you expected to work seven hours off the clock.

That will be all.

See, that's the thing. I believe I *am* protected under labor laws, but can I a) get anyone to pay attention and b) afford legal help for less than seven hours' wages?

As much as it galls me, my best option might be to use this (and the threat of my quitting and forcing them to train someone else on the food line and register) to get concessions in other areas...say if I wanted to take a day off and couldn't get a replacement.

White-collar blackmail. Me likey. You seem sexier when you're being so manipulative. *pant*

What can I say...I'm doing my best to keep you interested from so very far away.

Not very hard work, but I certainly appreciate the effort.
