Description
Claimant Royall was employed by petitioner Mountain States Telephone Company as a telephone operator in petitioner's building at Adams Street and First Avenue in downtown Phoenix. Her shift began at 5:00 p. m. and ended at 11:00 p. m.; at 8:00 each evening she took a thirty-minute lunch break. She was compensated for this time, which the employer considered to be a combination of two 15-minute coffee breaks. Claimant was not restricted to the employer's premises during her break; however, she had established the custom of having coffee in the employer's cafetorium during this time. She was not aware of any restaurants in that area of downtown Phoenix which were open at 8:00 in the evening, and the fact that she had only thirty minutes precluded her from going outside the area. On the evening of April 17, 1968, claimant entered an employees' lounge on the premises during her lunch break in order to make a personal telephone call. She was walking toward the telephone when she tripped over the legs of a person sitting on a couch, fell to the floor, and suffered the injury which is the basis of her claim.
