Ok great - sounds like we're on the same page!

Funny you should mention the builders and the tea breaks. I just had a conversation with someone the other day about how when I worked at a hotel many years ago I often found myself being the only person on duty as everyone was taking smoke breaks that last from 10-15 minutes every hour. It was for that reason that I picked up cigarettes and would take my own 15 minute breaks! Of course it didn't take too long and we were able to implement a company policy that if you left the front desk (for any reason other than to help a customer) you had to clock out. The excessive bathroom breaks, smoke breaks and "just needed to clear my head" breaks dropped dramatically. I can only imagine the money saved after we implemented that policy.
