I think my employers are exploiting me

​

I m17 recently got a job in a hotel which was great news for me because I was finding it hard to find a job. The first day was rough tbf I'm a food runner and I'm doing a bunch of other small things aswel pretty much whatever I'm asked to do which is grand. The main part I'm not happy about is that in a 12.30-22.00 shift I get 1 break for a half hour which isn't great as us but to make it worse it's at around 2. The last day I went in my break finished at 14.20 so I was working from 14.20-22.00 with no break. I'm like pretty sure that's illegal. When I asked if I was getting another break I was told no. Another small thing was that I think they took a half hour off of my pay. On my newest payslip it says I worked 8.5 hrs which I think is wrong. I was working from 12.30-22.00 with a half hour unpaid break. I still should've been paid for 9 hours right? I'm thinking of quitting I have another job lined up but it's not as if the new one is brilliant but I do prefer the hours and the days are very flexible it's just horrible pay. Anyways some advice would be nice because although I absolutely hate this new job it would look nice in a CV because the hotel I'm working in is quite reputable but I'm really not sure if it's worth it.

Soooo for those of you who mightnt know the Debs is I'm pretty sure exclusively at the very least a European thing it's just like a big party we have where normally you go with a date.

I'm on the fence about asking someone I think I really like for a couple of different reasons but the main one being is that someone I used to be friends with is very obvious into her to the point that when his sister even mentioned it he pushed her. Like he's VERY defensive.

We were recently on a holiday with the class and I was sitting next to her on the plane in and back and I did as much investigation as I could. Now I didn't do this part because I like her this was before I even thought about asking her but I did share some stories about the guy that likes her and why were not friends anymore. Well the main reason is that he's really homophobic but I didn't mention that bc I'm not going to out myself just to put her off of him.

Anyways it doesn't seem that she's into him anymore and none of my stories were lies or exadurations and I didn't share any of the ones of him being homophobic so I think if she knew them all she definitely wouldn't be interested.

But see now I'm just wondering would asking her be very bad of me to do because although I'm not still friends with this other guy he is in our friend group of 5 people which makes things awkward as it is.
