they all start out the same but in a month they figure it out

I have witnessed THIS so many times. And like clock work they all come to the same conclusion "if they don't care, I don't care".

They don’t read their union contract either. Know your rights!
Retail... unions. Sadly at least the major retail chains would rarher close the store than allow a union.

I skip lunch so I can leave early. I don't want to be there if I'm not getting paid.

I worked a job where when one of the team moved on, we'd all pitch in to keep things running while management would work to fill the vacancy. Management would work fast, and we'd fairly quickly get a new person.
When I moved to my next job, I automatically started busting my ass trying to get things done. My new coworkers had to take me aside and point out that there was no help coming. They weren't going to hire anyone to help, and if I killed myself trying to keep things working, they might not even hire someone to replace me.
After years of us complaining that we needed more people, management decided to bring in a consultant to review our work, evaluate the department, and report on what actions, if any, were necessary. It was fairly clear that management expected the experts to report that we had enough staff.
After interviewing everyone and shadowing us while we worked, they reported that for the size of the organization and the amount of work we were doing, and comparing our staff to staff at similar organizations, we should have had at least twice as many people on our team.
To their credit, this served as a wakeup call to administration. They realized that they needed to take steps to correct the staffing, and also realized how lucky they were to have the staff they had to keep things running. That was over 20 years ago, and things have continued to improve.

I don't take a lunch, but that's cuz I work a straight 8 and come in/leave early to account for it. I take plenty of breaks through out the day to do housework tho

Doesn't needing an external consulting company (which doesn't know the company nor industry as intimately) just show that the management doesn't know their shit?

In my experience, it is also an indication that they want to blame someone else for their actions.

This is exactly my thought. I eat at my desk, so I don't bother counting the 5 mins.

There are some union retail jobs and in time hopefully more can join on. Whether its part of UFCW or another. We must band together and fight for our rights.

Indeed. This is their job and they're using company resources to pay someone else to do it for them.
