Yesterday was father's day (as it is 12:04 right now, making it officially tonights's tomorrow where I am), I was at work for a 10 hour shift, which I get paid less than minimum legal wage for.
Considering it is illegal for such managorial actions, I would consider taking proper legal actions. I might also, if applicable file for EI or Employment Insurance. I do NOT know the ways of Manhatten, unfortuniately.

I had no break, no lunch, no food. I was supposed to leave at 10, however my team mates who I had covered for yesterday ditched and left me, meaning I had to stay later. Finally when it was time for me to go, the people on line refused to let me leave, demanding that I HAD to take care of them, as they had been waiting in line, none of them even considerate of the fact I had no food, no rest, and had been on my feet for over 10 hours and that it was time for me to leave 10 minutes AGO. After growling and just leaving the ******** where they stand I swipe out and leave.
I fully agree with your course of actions. You were scheduled in for a select time and you fullfilled that contract. Anything after that is overtime. Overtime in which you ARE paid for. If not, it is outright wrong.
As for the people who were waiting on you. It isn't nessecarily their fault. They expect servive and they can't possibly understand the conditions in which you were subjected to work. Though ... they should have been a little more considerate to the possibility of an overworked, under paid employee.

On the train home I reflect on my life and realize I don't like how I wasted the first nineteen years of my existence taking s**t from everyone, being bullied, teased, insulted and walked over by everyone around me, and then I start to look at my sex life, or lack thereof, as I have yet to (physically) be with a woman, and it get on my nerves how I stand here, a young, potent man, unable to even speak with a female face to face, or if I do speak to them they either 1- only become my friends, or 2 already have a boyfriend.
In regards to this section, I know fully how you feel when it pertains up to "as I have yet to." I, like you, have been bullied, pushed around, taken advantage of, analyzed my life in and out and basically came to the same conclusion: I have NO legacy.
In regards to that last section, I know not of it. I have had different problems. I have been abused on numerous occasions ... I guess I offer this in hopes that it makes not having a sexual encounter appear more attractive than having those you regret for life.

And then it hit me... I became enlightened and at the same time suffered a deadly existential crisis.
I Daniel Eric Vasquez, of Manhattan New York, gender male, age nineneen years three months, and eighteen odd days...
Am meaningless.
I am a speck, a worthless piece of dust, when I die who will remember me? What legacy will I leave? Perhaps a handfull of people, but what about when they die? Who will remember me then? No one.
I will leave no legacy, leave nothing behind of my passage through life, thusly showing my fallability, humanity, and the fact that I am NOT EVEN a smudge on the pages of history.
And that enrages me.

I end with what i briefly touched on above. I too have left nothing thus far. My only hope is that someone out there realizes my true potential and I am given that chance to make that smudge within the pages of history. Very few of us get that chance Ascher. You are 19 and a whole life to live. ... YOU will get that chance in my opinion. You are an increadably driven person with great knowledge.
I guess ... Living in manhatten is hard enough you know. I lived there two weeks and I was suffocating. ... ... You will get your chance.
