Break time is a time honored tradition in most first world countries. It is often used by weary employees to clear their heads, run quick errands or get a nice smoke. Since break time is often required by law, it is considered to be 15 minutes of free time that an employee can use any way he or she sees fit and the Double Deuce Bar featured in Road House is no exception. In fact, since the place has a casual work environment, there are probably many things one can do on a break there that would be frowned upon in a more formal office setting. However, even the Double Deuce has to draw the line somewhere and one of the things that’s over the line is sexual intercourse.
Head bouncer Dalton makes it clear that sex is not permitted on the premises regardless of the employee’s work status. When he happens upon one of his staff members engaging in relations with a bar patron, he immediately terminates that staff member’s employment. The staff member protests his firing because he was technically on his break, but the pleas fall on deaf ears, because there are some things you cannot do on your break and sex is definitely one of them.
