Ah, yeah I’ve seen similar hours shit before. Usually it’s an idiot manager or owner who doesn’t believe the worker when the law is brought up, or doesn’t care and thinks they can skirt around it.

Had a supervisor once at a huge hotel chain who got chewed out by the building manager (a few levels up) because he was putting the company at risk of legal action. Not because the kids were being taken advantage of, of course. But because the action was threatening their profit.

Fucking nuts.
