    Have they tried not making the cashiers stand there the entire shift? Was gobsmacked when I saw that in supermarkets; like some sort of childish power-move to not let them sit

    Try that in Europe, you’d end up in court lol

        as a customer in Europe I want my chashier to be comfortable while working, it means they don’t get tired as fast and won’t make as many mistakes that come from being tired

        USA is just weird

          More like it means they won’t develop lower back problems and dodgy knees later in life

          If customers “prefer” to see cashiers standing, your customers are utter cunts 😂

        I figured it was because of our fucked up “if there’s time to lean, there’s time to clean” mentality.

        Have they actually polled customers? It seems like the bosses don’t like seeing them sitting down.

        And regardless of what the customers think, don’t the employees matter?

          The thing is it’s fucking true, if the law doesn’t require it certain Karens WILL complain to a manager if they see someone sitting down.

          When I was working at McDonald’s I was on a break and grabbed a pop from the lobby. Some guy waiting for his order saw me, got upset, and asked me specifically how much longer his order was going to be. I don’t know dude, but they are taking care of it. I can’t make your patty cook faster by going over and staring at it.
