they're going to tell you that you need to note when you cant take time off to eat lunch on a case by case basis and that there will be no blanket decision on paid work lunches. they will let you declare you worked through lunch and pay you for it, but they'll get pissy if you do it every time and you'll get annoyed dealing with it and stop. they also get pissy if you set up a form letter and just change the date every day instead of wasting your time filling out the same damn thing every time.

you probably wont see back pay, and if the business is of any size you're going to lose your shirt if you try to sue them.

According to the Maryland department of labor website I'm entitled to backpay.

And yes they're a huge business. They've been buying up every major food company for years. But, they're not above the law. The law is simple in this case.
