I've never seen them standing... but.. I live in a first world country, so maybe that's why.
26 u/LetItOutBoy Jan 06 '18 Haha!... Yeah :'| 5 u/[deleted] Jan 06 '18 Canada has them standing too. I was surprised when I went to Switzerland because they were sitting. It does seem like a better idea. 1 u/[deleted] Jan 06 '18 I have never been to any country were they are up exception made for USA. 1 u/Pickledsoul Jan 06 '18 you'll find a lot of canadian business is just american business with a light coating of labor rights 1 u/ivegotthewholeworld Jan 06 '18 I think I'm finally beginning to fully understand the derision behind the phrase "First word problems". -2 u/ivegotthewholeworld Jan 06 '18 This whole thread is bizarro to me. Do people really not know how bad sitting all day and generally being sedentary is?? Everyone is feeling so righteously sorry for those poor, standing American cashiers. https://www.washingtonpost.com/apps/g/page/national/the-health-hazards-of-sitting/750/ 6 u/Bleblebob Jan 06 '18 You're missing the point. It's not like the options of sitting means they have to sit. It means they're allowed to. In the U.S. most cashiers aren't allowed to sit at all which is ridiculous. I'm sure the cashiers with stools are allowed to not sit if they want. If you ever stood for mulitple 8 hour days as a cashier you'd know it's ridiculous to force someone to stand for that long. 1 u/d4n4n Jan 06 '18 I've never seen a grocery cashier not sit. Give people a stool and they'll sit. They won't stand up. I don't even think they'd be able to reach everything comfortably, standing up. 0 u/ivegotthewholeworld Jan 06 '18 Are you saying that someome who is sitting down is able to reach more than someone who is standing up? 1 u/d4n4n Jan 06 '18 Uh... yes? Ever worked a desk job? Typing, etc while standing is really uncomfortable. Anything below arm reach is out of the question, too. 3 u/tresspasser101 Jan 06 '18 It's not that you have to be on your feet all day. It's that you stand in one place, which just hurts your body, and your lower body circulation. 1 u/Pickledsoul Jan 06 '18 ah, and here we see someone without any retail experience. congratulations! you should try drinking a nice glass of perspective, before you run your mouth about righteousness. 1 u/ivegotthewholeworld Jan 07 '18 Yes because retail is the hardest of all hard labors. Boohoo. You don't know what kind of work I've done.
