Don't know about the laws in your state, but I read recently that if they make you go on break and you can't leave, that's not a break and they must pay you for it.

Drugs can do that

I've observed this too. Look up full price for cell phone because buying one during contract. I found they want significantly more for the phone than I could have bought it for if I went straight to my carrier's corporate store and paid full price. Sometimes the full price was 100 to 200 dollars more at best buy.
