After all, capitalists in his previous life had been raked over the coals for making employees work from nine to nine, six days a week, while Farfetch'd worked for him almost year-round without a break. Counting the days since he had caught Farfetch'd, the only relatively leisurely period had been before Farfetch'd started working as a chef. The rest of the time, Farfetch'd could only rest when he did; if he did not take a break, Farfetch'd basically had to help out. Heath felt a little embarrassed.

If a violation was reported, the penalty ranged from a fine of several million to imprisonment. Heath did not want to earn a reputation for turning Pokémon into his own sweatshop workers.
However, figuring out how to give Farfetch'd time off was rather troublesome. After all, Heath's Food Truck currently had only two chefs: himself and Farfetch'd. Previously, when the food truck had not been very big, serving customers on his own had not been too much trouble. But now, as more customers came in, Heath had more people to serve every day, which was something of a headache. With Farfetch'd helping, things were a little easier for him.

Hiring people under those circumstances meant he would also have to arrange meals and accommodation for
