Ok but is it a paid 2hr lunch or more likely unpaid like ours?
If it's unpaid, hell no I don't want to sit at work 2hrs without pay, give me the shortest lunch I can take. If it's paid, sure but I doubt that.

The estragos unidos is the exception, real countries have paid lunch breaks - that, or have salaried employees with monthly wages.
Are you okay?
you need a hug and labor laws
That said, I'm also a master at slacking at the job, so do the math.
That's for retail and light labor jobs. When I worked a car wash the break was definitely needed.
If its a thing of like hey you can take lunch for anywhere from 30mins-2hrs that would be pretty chill.
I figured it was a forced 2hrs, if not that's cool, everyone gets choices.
Sorry if I'm being ignorant but this is news to me.
Its stupid but basically businesses fought it tooth and nail because 'why should we pay for their lunch when they aren't even working' basically

Do you guys receive compensation for gas or public transport or the employer also thinks that you can magically appear in their workplace?
Remember: you are doing the work, not them
And you don't get compensation for anything, really. You get your hourly wage, and that's it unless your job has benefits, which most don't.
And basically you bring lunch and eat it in the break room.
Why???
At work I'd be stuck watching YouTube or something for 2 hrs.
your lunch hours ARE UNPAID?
In Brazil, we have a mandatory break (according to the total of working hours of the day), but you're free to take it anywhere you want, you can leave the building and go back after this period if you like to, but you're not paid for this time.
A jornada de trabalho é de 8h sem contar a pausa de 1h. Se você bate ponto, sei lá, às 7h da manhã e tira 1h de almoço, você não larga às 15h, você larga às 16h. Se você tirar 2h para o almoço, você larga às 17h. E por aí vai.
What the fucking fuck, not only mine are paid, but I also receive extra money specifically to buy my lunch. LOL
