Our area coach showed up and clarified they're okay with throwing away employee meals. Am I taking crazy pills?

Our area coach showed up yesterday, and I took the time as a part time service champion to clarify my understanding of the rules regarding employee meals.

My understanding of the employee meal rules were as follows

  • $9 limit before tax
  • Must be eaten only inside the restaurant
  • When your break is done any remaining food must be thrown away

I don't get a 30-minute lunch at any point because I only work part-time so I get 10 minute breaks. I asked my area coach what would happen in the following situation: I am sent on my 10 minute break. I clock out. I input my menu item and get the mic to discount it as an employee meal.

But the store is busy and it takes longer than 10 minutes for the food champions to make my meal. I now have to clock in after 10 minutes. What do we do with the food that was supposed to be my employee meal now that I'm no longer on break?

"It goes in the trash". ...so .I just don't get to eat then and can't save it? The actual fuck? She also informed me not to tell the food champions to cancel the order as it was discounted as an employee meal. This feels wrong.
