Maybe she should clean up or do something constructive instead of sitting in a booth playing on her cell phone when there are no customers.. why pay her to do nothing?

It's the manager's responsibility to assign down-time duties. He can tell her to go home if the restaurant isn't busy, or he can find work for her to do, but under no circumstances can he require her to stay on the premises waiting for a customer to show up unless she is being paid for it.

Is this a corporate store, or a franchise?

He could also just fire her when she complains about it.

Is it Sonic? I've heard of Sonic doing that shite. I guess they get away with it because most of their employees are teens who don't know any better.

Do you post during work? Are you being paid to do nothing?

The store must clock her out for 30 minutes minimum. She must be free to then leave the premises.
If she is clocked out for less than 30 minutes, or told to stay on-site, she must be paid.
The call to the DOL, wage-hour division, is free. She must sign statement with the facts. Before the Bush administration changed this policy, the call could have been anon, and the DOL would have sent an investigator to the premises. They can't do that anymore.

People talk about allowing companies to do whatever they want, but don't have a clue how shitty most of these companies treat their employees even under regulation.

The DOL Wage and Hour Division rule for breaks is that any under 20 minutes must be paid.
The 30 minute rule applies to designated meal periods which are defined differently than breaks.
The manager might be violating both rules, but he is clearly breaking the law.

Nobody talks about that. This is why the law exists, so these employees can't be exploited. They just have to report it. Do you think anyone will look for the person who stole your car if you don't call the police?

The person you know is stupid. If she is there the employer is paying for her time and not when it gets busy or slow. You cannot clock someone out expect them to stay there and clock them back in whenever it gets busy again. If she lets it happen then she is an idiot.

It's not her job to assign herself duties. That's on her supervisor.
And yes, actually, even if she was just sitting in a booth playing on her phone, she is still "working." She's there waiting for a customer to come in. She's not at home or doing whatever she wants, is she? It's not her fault they don't have any customers at the moment.

It's legal if she is free to go and do whatever she wants during the break. What's not legal is depriving people of legally required breaks and not paying them for "breaks" during which they're working.
But if the "breaks" here are 20 min or shorter, he/she must be paid.

I worked for salary before opening my own clinic. 10am-7pm with no breaks. I was allowed to go i to my office and scarf down food between clients. I eventually put in my 2 weeks notice (the contract said I had to give 60 days notice) and I left. 1 month later I got a bill in the mail for the 6 weeks of contract violation. I never paid, that was 10 years ago.
To add: at no time in the interview was it explained I would get no breaks or lunch.

She will call the department of labor, and the next time she gets a customer complaint, boom. She fired.
