I remember back when I used to work at Earl's, for the first 3 years, I never went on lunch break (30 mins), or coffee break (5 mins).
Can't speak for the other restaurants, or even other Earl's establishments, but when I was working on line, we'd be running things pretty lean (only keeping as much staff as absolutely necessary). Part of this means sacrificing "luxuries" like breaks so that the rest of the team doesn't get killed. I didn't make a big deal about it.
Whether or not it's legal or whatever, that wasn't even a thought. I wanted to help the guys I worked with.
edit: just to add, my shifts weren't often 8 hours. 7 to 7.25, if I remember correctly, would be the average, and then I would get cut or there would be nothing left to do.
