Ten minutes? Only ten minutes? Logistically, I hope that each employee has their own personal crapper.

Years ago I used to work in a call center. They schedule every one of your breaks and you are disciplined if you do not adhere to the pre set schedule. This includes bathroom breaks, even in an emergency. The punishment can, and has, included termination. I have had several close calls (and even one total failure) trying to keep to the schedule. I was always getting in trouble for not taking bathroom breaks when I was told to. Don't get me wrong, I didn't have spastic, random diareah. You could tell time off my bowel movements. They were just on a different schedule from the one my employer had set.
I Was eventually fired because of this. Now, 3 years and a degree later, I work in an office where I can poop till my bowel's content.

P.S. Typed on a blackberry. I claim no responsibility for typos.

Years ago I worked on the kill floor of a commercial slaughterhouse for a few months. The line contained 50 men and we were all very busy. We killed an average of 300 pigs per hour. If all the positions were not manned the line had to be shut down which meant a lot of men were standing around doing nothing but still getting paid.

The same was true in other areas of the plant such as boning, cooking and packaging. People were encouraged to use the potty on either their morning break, lunch break or afternoon break. I had no problem since I had great regularity but some people are very irregular which caused problems for management.

I wonder if there isn't an easier solution - like a "fill-in" person, familiar with each job in the line. They could jump in for 10 minutes here and there should someone have to crap. Have one fill-in person per line, per shift. Hell it could become a promotable position.

Oh wait, I think thats what management used to do at some point, you know, insure the line was moving, yada yada. Oh well.

I like HowleyKook's idea; I'd like to point out that the technical term for such a fill-in person is a "floater."

Where I worked there were fill-in people but occasionally the poopers outnumbered the fill-ins.

How 'bout if management just comes out and sniffs the employees ass to see if he actually did shit.

If you work in a pet store, that could be called sexual harassment!
(Yes... I went there...)

This is why you need unions. As a postal employee, I'm happy I have my union looking out for me. If it ever gets to the point where some management asshole tells me when I can shit, then I'll move to Canada, because then I figure we'll have lost the last of our basic human rights.

How many times do you have to take a shit !
I played Baseball and Football and never once did I have to take a shit during a game.Before games I would get the pre-game jitters and crap to my hearts content.You gotta know when to hold it,know when to bowl it.

... Know when to walk away, and Know when to RUN!!!!

Why doesn't the processing plant just hire women. According to BVC, women don't shit. Problem solved!

Butt Dumpling, I was a pre-game crapper, too. Loved it.

Is it even legal to fire someone for using the toilet? I really thought it was an employee's right.

Daphne, only if they use a toilet specifically marked for the opposite gender and make a nuisance of themselves.

I used to work in a call center too. When they finally tried to clamp down on unscheduled breaks by removing the CSR's ability to take the telephone out of service, I decided that I needed a change of careers. Good thing too. The call center went out of business less than a year later.
