“We’ve been going over your pay claims and have noticed that on two days in the past week you didn’t take a lunch break.”
“Yes, that’s right. It’s been really hectic here.”

“So we’ll just deduct half an hour from each of those days on your time sheet to account for those breaks.”

“…um, no. I feel quite refreshed. Thank you.”
“Not a problem. Thank you.”
