*banging my fists on a table* LET CASHIERS HAVE CHAIRS

O_O

In what kind of dystopian country do you live, where cashiers don’t have chairs?

Other countries let their cashiers sit while they work?

At least here in Portugal I’ve never seen a cashier without a chair.

It’s already a boring job, and people want to make it painful too?

Fuck, I can’t stand for more than 15 minutes without hurting all over. X_X

Some customers are loud, obnoxious, judgemental shitheads here, in the `States. So cashiers don’t get chairs or stools (unless they’ve a doctor’s note) to keep the judgey assholes from accusing cashiers of “being lazy”.

It should also be mentioned that those types often end up in a management position of some sort.

So let me get this straight: Your system operates under the assumption that an optimal work environment consists of ensuring your employees are as uncomfortable as possible, due to the expectation that the average customer is a massive cuntwafer?

And I thought Portugal was subservient.
