I have a vivid memory of when I was a 2nd year chippy apprentice and hearing an argument between a sparky and his boss.
"Jacko, can't you go to the toilet before you come to work in the morning?"
"Geoff, why should I go at home when I can be at work and get paid to take a dump??"
Pretty sure he'd just rocked up to the job site..
I remember Fred (plumbing foreman) telling Jeff (coworker) to shit at home and Jeff replying the same.
Then a few weeks later our boss came for a site visit mentioning that he was told Fred would leave site for hours and come back with a haircut. I had to walk off when Fred said back to him “if it grows in working time, I’ll get it cut in working time”. Fuck it still makes me laugh.
I usually have a bowel movement the moment I arrive, something about having to drive a bus for 4-5 hours seems to be a great motivator for my internal clock.
Maximum I'm allowed to drive before I'm required to have a break is 5 hours, fatigue laws etc. I don't always have a convenient place to relieve myself, depending on time of day, route I'm driving, peak hour.
Oh I have my emergency situations planned out, I ain't leaving that to chance. If my passengers have to wait so be it. As a colleague once said to me, you cant always predict when you need to take a bog.
Question is, do you get it down off the wall and lay it flat the ground first, or do you go challenge mode and perch yourself on a ladder, and try to angle it so you can shit directly on the clock while it’s still hanging up?
I think not allowing your employees the right to use a bathroom when needed is a massive problem. Some people have conditions that require the need to use bathrooms when necessary. Sometimes it can have dire health consequences to deny someone the use of a bathroom, I work in construction, and being female it is very basic essential need to have an accessible toilet at all times to be able to use. I’ve heard too many horror stories of other women in the trade industry getting UTI’s, bladder infections, kidney problems because they have had to hold off going to the toilet all day due to not being allowed to use it when they need to, not having toilet paper on site, non functioning toilets and even sometimes no toilet whatsoever on site.
The same problems can apply to any other employment. If you are denied the right to use a toilet when needed, you can have major problems, not to mention an employer could potentially run the risk of a lawsuit if something did happen to someone’s health due to them being denied that use of a toilet.
I’ll also add relevance further to note, the past week I had to do a private job, with no access to a toilet. I had to drive 10 minutes to the nearest toilet, so I had to hold and wait until lunch time to use any sort of facilities. should I apply a “toilet surcharge” to my invoices for the fuel I’ve had to spend to drive to find a toilet to simply just take a piss because a client wouldn’t allow workers to use theirs and it’s 8 hours a day work.
It was always the employers paying minimum wages that had an issue with staff using the bathroom in my experience. A past employer questioned me for needing to use the bathroom AFTER my lunch break. “Sorry I need to piss after consuming a litre of water…” But at the same time it was ok for the smokers to have a dart on paid time out the back, then need to poo. Boss was sympathetic to that for whatever reason.
Red rooster has always sucked. I worked there is the 80s.on the 6 pm to 9 pm shift.we were expected to do 40 minutes for free cleaning the store. No time was given for bathroom breaks They were caught in the 90s.
Life hack - if you have a “clocking in” system. Clock in early, go to the bathroom until shift begins. Clock out only once you’ve changed out of your uniform and gone to the bathroom. Do this every shift and rack up that teensy bit of OT. Also, fuck them for telling you when to shit; you aren’t paid enough to hold it in, and it doesn’t fucking matter when you go… You need to go some time!
Works for end of shift, but start of shift generally doesnt work like that. If your shift starts at 7am, but you clock in at 6:30am you wont be paid for the 30 minutes before you were rostered to start
It depends on your system (not experienced with Maccas, but in other low-paid shift work it works), but yeah, they’ll coin onto anything more than 10mins.
For us it's the same for clocking out, too.
You get paid according to the hours you're *supposed* to be at woro, not when yo clocked out (or if you clocked in early).
Funny tho, if you clock out 1 minute early, they deduct 15. Same if you clock in 1 minute late.
So I always drop literally everything I'm doing as-it-is the second that clock hits end of day. Someone needs anything ? Fuck you and I'll see you tomorrow.
I got told by a disability business that I used to work for that we were had to be at work AT LEAST 15 minutes before our shifts started, to discuss written changeover notes and any issues that might have happened on the prior shift. Not only do I call that WORKING but that is precisely what our written notes are for: to communicate with the next shift, so I ignored the directive. When I were taken to task for routinely showing up 2-3 minutes before shift to discuss the handover I were unrepentant. I told them that it doesn't take 15 minutes to discuss it. They told me that it is an important part of the job. I told them that if it was that important they could pay me for my time and adjust my rostered start time accordingly. They weren't happy with me but did nothing further about it. Some staff were disgruntled that I didn't have to do what everyone else were doing. I told them that I had challenged them on it and said that if it was so important they could pay for my time, which they were unwilling to do and that I were not going to donate more than half an hour of my time on a daily basis. Most of the other staff were too intimidated to challenge them over it, but I stuck to my principles. Besides, doing it my way had zero impact on my job performance, so they had no comeback on me, apart from challenging their authority. If I took it further, then our head office knew that they had no case to make. I might have gotten less allocated shifts thereafter but it didn't last for long when othet staff weren't as available as myself.
Plus, the longer you hold in your poop, the harder it will be to pass. You’re also putting yourself at risk of haemorrhoids, fissures, straining and some cancers. You should always poop when you feel the need.
Yeah as a floor supervisor, staff who arrive at work 30 minutes early to have a coffee and chit chat, then proceed to go spend 15 minutes on the toilet when it’s clock in time do annoy me somewhat, especially when it’s the same people doing it at start of shift, end of breaks and right before clock off time.
A one off arrived at work busting for a dump isn’t an issue.
An employer can place reasonable restrictions on toilet breaks, I’m a fast food restaurant it might be that you can’t go if you are on a cook station and leave the food unattended, or if serving can’t go and leave the customers unattended or another employee alone in the front of house.
Having a rule around waiting until another employee is there to take over would be reasonable.
I find it hard to believe this happened after a single incident.
15 minutes is too long to sit on the toilet I agree. But dunno about you, after a coffee in the morning I’m pretty consistent in about 15-20 minutes time to need a bathroom break. And anyone telling me to not have a coffee in the morning or that I can’t use the toilet until a certain time can get fucked.
I'm not in that industry. Sometimes I need more time to get into work, and sometimes I am ready to go right when I get in.
Humans are good at recognising patterns. If someone is consistently a certain way, you can't help but notice.
In OP's case, one sentence is not enough info. Could be poor manager, could be owner's policy, could be the owner themselves. Could be something interpersonal happening going on.
Used to have a boss that would call your phone if he thought you were taking to long, then if you didn't answer he would bash on the door and accuse you of masturbating...
I go as soon as I get in to work. Like I’ll put my stuff down at my desk and go to the toilet and stuff around for 10 minutes. It’s my mind subconsciously forcing me to not start working and avoid the muppets I have to work with just a little bit longer.
A guy I worked with came into the office every morning loaded up stock for the day and then used the bathroom. Like clock work everyday.
One morning he had a massive heart attack and died while in the bathroom, because it was a routine and he always did it even tho he had not clocked on yet work cover covered his death and paid out to his family.
That's up to the ICE Breaker Gods, and when they decide its time to deluge the bowl... for me before prestart is too early as you're not officially being paid, so I'd say the minute restart is over and before the seats get too warmed up by the others
As soon as my body even smells the coffee it’s go time… So if I make myself one to bring with me I have to rush before I commute, if not as soon as I buy one and walking back to my desk it requires a pit stop.
Fuck dude I have 2 kids I have to make lunches for, ensure they eat breakfast and dress, and then get them to school - work is the first moment I get to shit if I don’t get up at sparrows fart.
I mean, that’s probably not true. If OP were an adult, Maccas would have to pay them an adult minimum wage. Child labourers need to be able to determine their own poop schedule too, though.
Top-Dex, you’re probably right. When I originally saw this post, I only saw the headline question and did not see caption this was Maccas we’re talking about when I responded.
I’ve only worked at full service restaurants before and not fast food, so I don’t have a frame of reference here. I assume the full service restaurants have a greater degree of autonomy in regards to such things? Not sure.
I had a mate tell me he figured out how much he gets paid to shit at work per year, while he was taking a dump.
Turned out to be about $1213/yr averaging a 7min crap per day. Apparently sometimes he does his emails on the dunny.
My bowel movement usually starts once I've been upright for 30 minutes in the morning, which is when I usually get to work, so very often I head straight to the toilet after I clocked in LOL.
My director hates it and wants me to get up earlier, I just laugh.
Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime that’s why I shit on company time. if I gotta shit I’m gonna shit. If I don’t gotta shit I’m going to the toilet anyway by 10am nearly everyday.
Fast Food Restaurant perspective, In case of an emergency I would say as soon as you clock in as nobody wants to send someone home because the runs hit the socks especially on a busy night...
But if not I'd say 20 minutes unless in peak conditions then *HOLDFAST!!* as you work through peak time then do a runner for the shitter (Sidenote always take your mobile incase the shitter has no TP, We lost a cook for 45 minutes as they had no mobile with them or TP heh).
If your position has two workers & not in peak you can ask for them to take over for a little bit.
As soon as you need to go. Going to the loo is a necessity not a privilege. We have to go. Ask your boss if he’d prefer you piss/shit your pants in the workplace…..
In most the places i used to work we'd all rather go straight to toilet first after arriving before doing the shift change. Its seen as conpletely normal. Some people do long drives/commutes and a familiar toilet is better than public toilet.
It really depends on the industry you work in. If you work in a “team” environment say like construction it affects others on the jobsite. For instance, an earthworks job has an excavator loading 10 trucks at the start of the day when the operator of the excavator decides to take a half an hour shit, leaving 10 trucks sitting idle, which causes cost and time implications for the project.
I absolutely hate pooing at work, the toilet paper is abysmal. Single sheet, see through and crumbles instantly, leaving little bits of it behind. It's bad enough that as a woman I have to use it very carefully when I pee...but after poop care is a nightmare.
I have a caffeinated drink when I start my day, and am usually dealing with it on the toilet within 30 minutes of consumption. If I'm on my period, all bets are off
When I need to. Sometimes its as soon as we get to site, other times not at all. It also depends on the temp of the day. The hotter it is the more you drink the more you need to pee, unless of course you sweat it out as fast or faster than you can drink it.
I have a 30 min lunch break then I'll have a dump immediately after. I usually work by myself so the boss won't know about my extended lunch break haha.
Why do we have to deal with human anatomy? /s likely been up for two hours and had a breakfast with a cup of coffee. It’s easy to wake up and urinate, taking a dump takes a little bit of time to work up to. But, yeah, my work has scumbags that are clock watchers and like to “casually” bring it up to supervisors when certain people poop.
My old foreman used to clock in late, unlock the factory and set up the machines then immediately head to the toilet.
It was pretty much like clockwork with him after every break, and sometimes in between breaks too for 15+min. But as soon as someone else did it, he'd throw a massive tantrum like the manchild he was.
I often go the second I walk in the door.
I get up and run round getting my kids and self ready, then drop the kids off. Then get a coffee and have a cigarette and by the time I pull up to the car park I've got a turtle head going on.
I poop within the first 5 mins. I don’t see why it would be an issue if anything, getting it out of the way the second you get there means you aren’t stopping and starting a task which would objectively cost the company more than pooping before you get going for the day.
Recently quit a job that pulled me in for meetings if I went to the toilet more than twice a day. If I had an upset stomach or needed the bathroom more than that I was told to go and get a doctors certificate and explain why I would need to use the bathroom more than twice a day. Was also told sick leave is not allowed to be used, exact words were ‘just because it’s there doesn’t mean it’s allowed to be used, if you have more than one sick day you won’t have a job anymore’ so even if you had gastro you were still expected to work but were not allowed to use the toilet. Make that make sense.
Anyway after quitting I realised I’m a human being and now use the toilet whenever I need to and fuck what anyone else says.
How long are you people taking to take a crap. It should only be a minute or two. If it takes longer, you are doing it all wrong.
As a guide look at how long a dog takes to do one.
When the job is done.
But then, I work with the disabled and the elderly who deserve not being left waiting after my clock in. Also I work in 2 hour blocks with a half hour in between with no management anywhere near me and a set amount of work that isnt too hard to get done in like 1.5 hours.
Weird how the priorities change when youre treated fairly and like a human being.
If you need the toilet, then any time you need to. If you're going to sit on your ass and make stupid posts on plebbit, then never.
This post was 100% made while taking shit at work! Also 100% garrentied not your 1st offence
I got told off on my first day about 10 years ago for needing to use the bathroom within the first half an hour of starting the job. I’d had a couple of coffees and some water, sorry? The response was “I’ll let you go this time but you need to prioritise your day better in the future.”
I legitimately walked out straight out after I had my much needed piss and never answered their calls that started coming about 15 minutes later.
Use the toilet whenever you need to. This isn't primary school. You don't need a hall pass.
Honestly, this sort of thing stems from the major issue with hourly pay. It's like, "I pay you $x per hour. What have you done the past hour?" which doesn't factor in the reality of the working day. There are busy times and quiet times in most jobs. e.g. I may have done fuck all the last hour, but this morning I did the work of three people because we're short staffed. This issue is severely exacerbated by the culture of gig economy/youth employment where there's always someone else to take your place if you don't go above and beyond to show you're a "team player".
In this particular case, the manager is essentially saying "Your bathroom break cost a multi-billion dollar corporation literal (single digit) dollars and we can't accept that" which is petty and pathetic, assuming you're not spending half your shift in the loo and making things harder for your coworkers who have to pick up the slack. Entry level fast food jobs start around $45k per year, which equates to about 40c per minute.
Also, I'd argue that going to the toilet at the start of the shift is preferable to going part way through. Especially if there's a handover/rotation of staff. Go while there's still someone around to hold down the fort. You're also going to be more productive and better behaved around customers if you aren't worried about soiling yourself all morning.
Thank you for listening to my Ted talk.
You gotta go you gotta go but , it’s not your boss who you should be worried about though all your coworkers are done with ur shit cause you go straight to the bathroom room after clocking on
Isn't it common sense to wash your hands when you get to work if you're in the food industry? Might as well take a shit while you're there & get paid for it.
I literally used to hold all shift now I sometimes go take like 3 dumps in 4 hours. Never again shall I have a hurty tummy for misers who let me live on 159 a week.... "we just don't have the budget to give you more shifts" ok buddy....
Mate, everyone's body works differently. Some people have little control over when they go , some people have to go a lot, some people it takes half an hour to snap one off.
I'm confident that if you argued the point, having unusual bowel movements is comparable to having a disability (if it's not part of an identified disability to start with) and it's the employers obligation to make sure reasonable accommodations are made to allow you to succeed in your job.
I have a vivid memory of when I was a 2nd year chippy apprentice and hearing an argument between a sparky and his boss. "Jacko, can't you go to the toilet before you come to work in the morning?"

boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I shit on company time
That was a rhyme from a simpler time now the boss makes a grand and I make a buck so let's steal the catalytic converter from the company truck
I laughed at the shit on company time but howled at your comment
The first day back in the office after 9 months of WFH during various 2020 lockdowns was one of the best dumps of my life
When you're good at something, never do it for free...
I know a guy who jerked off at work for the same reasons
You’re the guy…
I usually have a bowel movement the moment I arrive, something about having to drive a bus for 4-5 hours seems to be a great motivator for my internal clock.
4-5 hrs?! Wtf
I'm assuming they are the bus driver. And that's their work.
Yeah nah makes sense, I was thinking commute for some reason.
Plot twist: they also take a 4-5 hour bus ride to and from their job as a bus driver.
And the bowel movement take 4-5 hours. Makes for a long day.
Not as ridiculous as you think, PT employees get free travel. Maybe he's cheap and there's major trackwork on the trains today.
Free travel for public transport workers is a myth these days.
Guess I'm a regular bunyip then because I just tapped on free with my employee card.
Ours don't.
That really sucks. Goverment or private?
bright lad
Haha please don't delete this comment
That does make sense when you read it very literally after reading the title.
Bro does say drive a bus.
The part where he said drive a bus didn’t clear that up?
We all make mistakes
Who drives a bus of all things to and from work you goose 😂
They have to go dress up as a nun after work and go to pray at the cemetery.
Maximum I'm allowed to drive before I'm required to have a break is 5 hours, fatigue laws etc. I don't always have a convenient place to relieve myself, depending on time of day, route I'm driving, peak hour.
This is what turned me off becoming a bus driver. Not knowing where and when I could poo 😂
That’s what turned me off Budweiser too. Sticking to Too Heys for now.
I mean, it’s allowed dude. Aloud is to do with volume and hearing.
That's what I get for replying right before bed, Shit happens right?
All good mate 👍
Found the Poo Jogger
Glad I interpret arrive as someone in 2024 and not 1974 or you'd have a solid issue
Firing on both ends, or is my mind in the gutter?
Haha - not in this context usually but when evacuations are necessary...
When you have to go, you have to go.
Oh I have my emergency situations planned out, I ain't leaving that to chance. If my passengers have to wait so be it. As a colleague once said to me, you cant always predict when you need to take a bog.
Beat me to it!.
Beat my meat to it
Whenever you fucking need to use the bathroom.
Make a coffee first, have a chat and say hi to your workmates. Then go take a dump
Be sure to tell those in conversation that the head is poking out
Thats a given.
Touching fabric…
Turtle’s head emerging.
Prairie dogin
Damn beat me to it
Lay the cable.
The baby is due. And I gave birth tia 4kg shit
Rookie numbers mate
Gotta give that coffee time to work!
If you haven't clocked in a double time poo you're doing it wrong
This should be written on the toilet walls. Or on the bottom of a coffee mug.
It's 10am, have you poo'd yet today?
Caff-ine... -> caff-out
If your retail workplace is connected to a public toilet, it’s safe to assume all retail employees hold their shit inside their body until home time.
Why?
It's the only way
Shitting on the clock is my only joy in life.
Question is, do you get it down off the wall and lay it flat the ground first, or do you go challenge mode and perch yourself on a ladder, and try to angle it so you can shit directly on the clock while it’s still hanging up?
Challenge mode. Channel your inner borb!
Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime… that’s why I poop on company time
I’m at work within 20 mins after waking up. I live about 10 mins away. Of course I’m going to shit as soon as I get to work.
Boss makes a dollar, I make ten cents; go when you want, cunt, common fucking sense.

Well yeah. As an apprentice chippy or as a teen working in red rooster the only times I heard it. Funny that.

This is why I carry ziplock bags
Whatever works for you
I reckon you’ll be right to hold it in for an hour mate haha
An hour sure. But an hour everyday, not so good.
Yeah as a floor supervisor, staff who arrive at work 30 minutes early to have a coffee and chit chat, then proceed to go spend 15 minutes on the toilet when it’s clock in time do annoy me somewhat, especially when it’s the same people doing it at start of shift, end of breaks and right before clock off time.

The boss makes 150 and gives me a buck. So I'll shit for 40mis and not give a fuck...
Immediately.
If anyone is actually taking notice of this, they've got too little to do and too much time on their hands. Creepy.
Used to have a boss that would call your phone if he thought you were taking to long, then if you didn't answer he would bash on the door and accuse you of masturbating...
Power move is to open the door, proving him right while maintaining eye contact
I had the boss ring a few times. Once was 3 minutes after cheeks had hit the seat. I was like cmon, it’s still holding on man
I go as soon as I get in to work. Like I’ll put my stuff down at my desk and go to the toilet and stuff around for 10 minutes. It’s my mind subconsciously forcing me to not start working and avoid the muppets I have to work with just a little bit longer.
12 minutes. At 43 minute intervals.
A guy I worked with came into the office every morning loaded up stock for the day and then used the bathroom. Like clock work everyday. One morning he had a massive heart attack and died while in the bathroom, because it was a routine and he always did it even tho he had not clocked on yet work cover covered his death and paid out to his family.
If you need to use the bathroom, auto can’t stop you. What are they gonna do? Ask you not to shit while the turtle head is poking out?
That's up to the ICE Breaker Gods, and when they decide its time to deluge the bowl... for me before prestart is too early as you're not officially being paid, so I'd say the minute restart is over and before the seats get too warmed up by the others
It's my morning routine
As soon as my body even smells the coffee it’s go time… So if I make myself one to bring with me I have to rush before I commute, if not as soon as I buy one and walking back to my desk it requires a pit stop.
One second, if I have to shit, I'm shitting
I specifically don't go to the toilet in the morning at home just so I can go the moment I get to work. Can't help having to go to the toilet.
My boss gets a dollar and I get a dime and that’s why I poo on company time
It depends for how long you can get away with that.
Fuck dude I have 2 kids I have to make lunches for, ensure they eat breakfast and dress, and then get them to school - work is the first moment I get to shit if I don’t get up at sparrows fart.
Walk in the front door, straight to the toilet.
No a great job if you have to think about that
Whenever you need to ffs! We’re all adults here.
I mean, that’s probably not true. If OP were an adult, Maccas would have to pay them an adult minimum wage. Child labourers need to be able to determine their own poop schedule too, though.
Top-Dex, you’re probably right. When I originally saw this post, I only saw the headline question and did not see caption this was Maccas we’re talking about when I responded. I’ve only worked at full service restaurants before and not fast food, so I don’t have a frame of reference here. I assume the full service restaurants have a greater degree of autonomy in regards to such things? Not sure.
I had a mate tell me he figured out how much he gets paid to shit at work per year, while he was taking a dump. Turned out to be about $1213/yr averaging a 7min crap per day. Apparently sometimes he does his emails on the dunny.
I clock on and take a 20 minute shit everyday.
If you ask my workers it’s straight away for 30 mins then another 2 x 30 min shits throughout the day
2 seconds
He makes a dollar I make a dime, that’s why I poop on company time
Go as soon as you need to and facilities allow. If need be try to modify your movement times. I hate using public toilets, and try to avoid them.
My bowel movement usually starts once I've been upright for 30 minutes in the morning, which is when I usually get to work, so very often I head straight to the toilet after I clocked in LOL. My director hates it and wants me to get up earlier, I just laugh.
Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime that’s why I shit on company time. if I gotta shit I’m gonna shit. If I don’t gotta shit I’m going to the toilet anyway by 10am nearly everyday.
Nose beers help you be more productive.
The first thing I do at the office is make a coffee and the second that smell hits my nostrils I need to shit. So basically immediately.
Friend of mine said he never shits in his own time. May as well get paid. 🤣
[удалено]
🤣🤣🤣 indeed.
Straight away. You gotta go then ya gotta go.
Honestly regardless of the time as long as it's not during your breaks or near the end of the day. It also depends on where you work
Fast Food Restaurant perspective, In case of an emergency I would say as soon as you clock in as nobody wants to send someone home because the runs hit the socks especially on a busy night... But if not I'd say 20 minutes unless in peak conditions then *HOLDFAST!!* as you work through peak time then do a runner for the shitter (Sidenote always take your mobile incase the shitter has no TP, We lost a cook for 45 minutes as they had no mobile with them or TP heh). If your position has two workers & not in peak you can ask for them to take over for a little bit.
I got accused of being late. Sorry, nope, I was in early and needed to poop. Check the cameras if you want.
I'm not pictured for no reason it seems.
More times than errors but enough errors to raise suspicion about the clown at work.
The first thing I do in the mornings when I get to work is take a dump
0.00001 seconds
As soon as you need to go. Going to the loo is a necessity not a privilege. We have to go. Ask your boss if he’d prefer you piss/shit your pants in the workplace…..
Once I heard someone say "my boss makes a dollar and I make a dime, that's why I poop on company time" or something like that.
In most the places i used to work we'd all rather go straight to toilet first after arriving before doing the shift change. Its seen as conpletely normal. Some people do long drives/commutes and a familiar toilet is better than public toilet.
It really depends on the industry you work in. If you work in a “team” environment say like construction it affects others on the jobsite. For instance, an earthworks job has an excavator loading 10 trucks at the start of the day when the operator of the excavator decides to take a half an hour shit, leaving 10 trucks sitting idle, which causes cost and time implications for the project.
I do it first thing, and then 10 times more through the day
Straight away
Get my coffee Check my emails Take a massive dump Thats my 9am and 2pm routine.
Our dunnies is so disgusting you don’t hang around. Definitely done on purpose.
I commute to work so I walk in and go. So immediately is the answer.
There is something strangely satisfying about shitting on the clock…
I absolutely hate pooing at work, the toilet paper is abysmal. Single sheet, see through and crumbles instantly, leaving little bits of it behind. It's bad enough that as a woman I have to use it very carefully when I pee...but after poop care is a nightmare.
I have a caffeinated drink when I start my day, and am usually dealing with it on the toilet within 30 minutes of consumption. If I'm on my period, all bets are off
1-1 seconds?
That’s fucked
When I need to. Sometimes its as soon as we get to site, other times not at all. It also depends on the temp of the day. The hotter it is the more you drink the more you need to pee, unless of course you sweat it out as fast or faster than you can drink it.
I have a 30 min lunch break then I'll have a dump immediately after. I usually work by myself so the boss won't know about my extended lunch break haha.
As soon as you get a notification on your phone
legally you've got to be ready for work when you start work.
ASAP. Don’t hold your shit in. The stink travels up your spine and that’s where shitty ideas come from.
Why do we have to deal with human anatomy? /s likely been up for two hours and had a breakfast with a cup of coffee. It’s easy to wake up and urinate, taking a dump takes a little bit of time to work up to. But, yeah, my work has scumbags that are clock watchers and like to “casually” bring it up to supervisors when certain people poop.
My old foreman used to clock in late, unlock the factory and set up the machines then immediately head to the toilet. It was pretty much like clockwork with him after every break, and sometimes in between breaks too for 15+min. But as soon as someone else did it, he'd throw a massive tantrum like the manchild he was.
I often go the second I walk in the door. I get up and run round getting my kids and self ready, then drop the kids off. Then get a coffee and have a cigarette and by the time I pull up to the car park I've got a turtle head going on.
I poop within the first 5 mins. I don’t see why it would be an issue if anything, getting it out of the way the second you get there means you aren’t stopping and starting a task which would objectively cost the company more than pooping before you get going for the day.
Recently quit a job that pulled me in for meetings if I went to the toilet more than twice a day. If I had an upset stomach or needed the bathroom more than that I was told to go and get a doctors certificate and explain why I would need to use the bathroom more than twice a day. Was also told sick leave is not allowed to be used, exact words were ‘just because it’s there doesn’t mean it’s allowed to be used, if you have more than one sick day you won’t have a job anymore’ so even if you had gastro you were still expected to work but were not allowed to use the toilet. Make that make sense. Anyway after quitting I realised I’m a human being and now use the toilet whenever I need to and fuck what anyone else says.
If my morning cup of coffee has anything to say about it, it’s as soon as I’m good and bloody well ready
How long are you people taking to take a crap. It should only be a minute or two. If it takes longer, you are doing it all wrong. As a guide look at how long a dog takes to do one.
When the job is done. But then, I work with the disabled and the elderly who deserve not being left waiting after my clock in. Also I work in 2 hour blocks with a half hour in between with no management anywhere near me and a set amount of work that isnt too hard to get done in like 1.5 hours. Weird how the priorities change when youre treated fairly and like a human being.
Depends - do you work for centrelink, if yes then never
When my ass says so.
Any time freedom to poo act Australia.
Etiquette demands you should work for at least 1 minute first .
Used to have a kitchen hand who would religiously clock on then go to the bathroom for 30-40 mins … I called it his $10 shit
If you need the toilet, then any time you need to. If you're going to sit on your ass and make stupid posts on plebbit, then never. This post was 100% made while taking shit at work! Also 100% garrentied not your 1st offence
Next time shit on the floor in the dining area.
Is Agro having a cartoon connection in there?
I usually take a shit straight away No feeling on earth is more sublime Than taking a shit on the bosses’ time
I got told off on my first day about 10 years ago for needing to use the bathroom within the first half an hour of starting the job. I’d had a couple of coffees and some water, sorry? The response was “I’ll let you go this time but you need to prioritise your day better in the future.” I legitimately walked out straight out after I had my much needed piss and never answered their calls that started coming about 15 minutes later.
Whenever the fuck you want is ok, if you get fired for going to the toilet just approach fairwork.
Use the toilet whenever you need to. This isn't primary school. You don't need a hall pass. Honestly, this sort of thing stems from the major issue with hourly pay. It's like, "I pay you $x per hour. What have you done the past hour?" which doesn't factor in the reality of the working day. There are busy times and quiet times in most jobs. e.g. I may have done fuck all the last hour, but this morning I did the work of three people because we're short staffed. This issue is severely exacerbated by the culture of gig economy/youth employment where there's always someone else to take your place if you don't go above and beyond to show you're a "team player". In this particular case, the manager is essentially saying "Your bathroom break cost a multi-billion dollar corporation literal (single digit) dollars and we can't accept that" which is petty and pathetic, assuming you're not spending half your shift in the loo and making things harder for your coworkers who have to pick up the slack. Entry level fast food jobs start around $45k per year, which equates to about 40c per minute. Also, I'd argue that going to the toilet at the start of the shift is preferable to going part way through. Especially if there's a handover/rotation of staff. Go while there's still someone around to hold down the fort. You're also going to be more productive and better behaved around customers if you aren't worried about soiling yourself all morning. Thank you for listening to my Ted talk.
Immediately, if you need to go. Between coffee, and travel time, it's usually necessary.
You gotta go you gotta go but , it’s not your boss who you should be worried about though all your coworkers are done with ur shit cause you go straight to the bathroom room after clocking on
There is a principle, be ready to start at start time! Reality is if you gotta go you gotta go!
I take a good 15 minute shit as soon as I get there and have my covfefe
Yes
<10 mins is way too soon. Go right before clocking on and minimum 1 hour between trips
Agro deserves better
I learnt ALOT from this thread.
Whenever you need to. Unless I'm about to shit myself, I'll usually wait at least 15 mins.
Isn't it common sense to wash your hands when you get to work if you're in the food industry? Might as well take a shit while you're there & get paid for it.
As soon as I finish pre start and get my tools out of the locker
I don’t like it when I need to go after I’ve clocked off.
One word od advice I gave my kids is always try shit in work time
I literally used to hold all shift now I sometimes go take like 3 dumps in 4 hours. Never again shall I have a hurty tummy for misers who let me live on 159 a week.... "we just don't have the budget to give you more shifts" ok buddy....
I am too embarrassed to use the toilets at work. I feel bad and I have a massive fear I would get in trouble.
When you need to use the bathroom, thats when.
I used to work with a guy who took a dump at work every morning to save money on loo roll. He was a well paid engineer, but always last to the bar.
1 min after is fine
So is 1 second.
According to the media. If you work for Centrelink... Never.
Mate, everyone's body works differently. Some people have little control over when they go , some people have to go a lot, some people it takes half an hour to snap one off. I'm confident that if you argued the point, having unusual bowel movements is comparable to having a disability (if it's not part of an identified disability to start with) and it's the employers obligation to make sure reasonable accommodations are made to allow you to succeed in your job.
Literally whenever you need to. This is why you need to join a union.
Your all bludgers. Take a shit at home it’s way better to start the day not being full of shit.
