It doesn't really work that way in retail...if you're scheduled until closing you can't just eat your lunch out on the sales floor and then peace out an hour before the store closes.

In non-retail jobs some employers will force their employees to take a lunch, because people will work through their lunches, stay the full day anyway, and then demand overtime even though it wasn't authorized. That's neither here nor there really, but it happens.
