Here’s a question that no one ever has a good answer for: why are cashiers forced to stand? Who decided people need to stand for 4 hours straight between breaks when they don’t MOVE?
Would it really hurt if they had, at least, a stool?
According to the owner of the drugstore I worked at for two summers in college, cashiers sitting on a stool doesn’t look professional.
I mean, you know, we were college students and high school seniors and middle-aged adults who were wearing clean T-shirts or polo shirts and shorts or jeans, but standing up for four+ hours made us look professional somehow.
… pardon me while I fume
Yup.
Customers threw the biggest shit fit when one of the cashiers was sitting on a chair behind the register (because she just had knee surgery, and wanted to get out of the house/make money), BECAUSE IT DIDN’T LOOK PROFESSIONAL
