You should be fine. the most they could do is have a sit down with you and tell you to make sure you get all your breaks in.

I'm sure as time goes by and the longer, lets hope not, that you work for kroger, the larger and larger loads of crap that you'll get dumped on you, leaving you eventually with no time to take either break, if you get two, or can't even squeeze in one if you get that. Hell, if i work b or c, there is NO chance of me taking either, because of the insane amount things that HAVE TO get done.

You can get a warning for it.

 

Since you are under 18 and in Ohio you are requrired to take 2 because of Ohio labor laws. Kroger can get fined for it

As the previous poster commented, As a minor you can not get into trouble.  If you have experienced this on a regualr basis you may want contact the union via phone call or email.

Minor can work at the service desk. Only thing about minors we cannot scan Alcohol. We can scan Cigarettes.

It's not your fault you didn't get your break, it's not like you refused it.  Minors labor rules require certain things, I'm not sure that a 15 minute break is one of them.

When you are an adult, minor labor violations are out of the equation, and all you are left is the contractual requirements (one 15 minute break on a shift 4+ hours, two 15 minute breaks on shift 7+ hours).  You are entitled to them, you might as well take them.  If you refuse to take one, that is on you.  You can't get fired, but you may have a problem if the manager thinks you are going to try to turn it around on them down the road and accuse them of denying you your breaks.
