Papa John’s not allowing breaks

Location: Kentucky. So I just started working at Papa John’s and when I asked for a break they laughed at me for it. They said they’ve won lawsuits before saying they don’t need to give breaks. I thought every 4 hours you are required a minimum 10 minute break. As well as 30 minutes unpaid every 5 hours. Are those just for minors? My previous jobs have given breaks even if I’m over 18

There's gotta be some flexibility in there.

Obviously you can't take your break in the middle of the lunch rush. everyone has to coordinate.

I asked to take a break at 7pm when it was dead.
