    make a chair specifically made for cashiers to relax on in-between serving customers

    This fuckin guy actually believes the reason cashiers don't have chairs is because the technology just isn't there yet. The mind boggles Jeeves

    Do... do these guys realise the reason retail workers don't have chairs is not because they haven't thought about using them... it's because they're literally not allowed to sit down.

    My first retail job I had as a teen: I started to get sore legs from standing up for 7 hours straight. I lightly lent on the counter for some relief. The floor manager walked past, kicked my ankle and said "No leaning, it looks lazy."

    You can tell these failsons have never worked in a shop because every retail job you take will have a line in the store policy about not sitting down because it "looks bad to customers". It's common knowledge to anyone that's worked in the area.

      I think if we dig into the idea that leaning or sitting appears lazy, it's covering for customers instinctively less wanting to bother someone who appears to be at rest. So the solution is to enforce that workers always appear attentive and waiting to serve, rather than just training people that it's ok to approach a worker who is sitting and still totally capable of doing their job.

          I agree that people are very willing to bother someone, but I think it's slightly more unpleasant for them to do so than not, which is enough to dictate the practice.

        Sitting employees look "unprofessional" as if anyone in America treats retail workers as being part of a professional career.

      The eternal mantra of the store manager

      "If you have time to lean, you got time to clean"

        At my last job a fellow coworker said that to me. Not even a supervisor. The gall that boy had.

          I think it's kindof the default view that kids have when they're new to working life. At my first ever job I was surprised at how slow the others were taking things and how much time they spent browsing the web and shit.

          Took a few months before it clicked that doing a really monotonous job every day for years where pay is meh and the employer is your typical industrialist who doesn't care about you, you won't work full pace if you're smart.

    I swear reddit has the saddest anticommunism. Like it's not even wrestling with any actual communist forces, it's just teenagers desperately trying to convince themselves the system is going to hold up long enough to give them a future.

    Is this person saying that the only reason cashiers don't get chairs is because nobody in the US has invented them yet?

        cashier chair with a 13 degree angle so they can say theyve fulfilled their requirement to provide seating to cashiers while still making them excruciating agony to actually sit on, and also they cost twenty times as much as a normal chair and in a crazy coincidence the chair company is run by the ceos cousin

    Yeah, that's about the level of insight I'd expect from an anticommunist

      Anticommunists: viciously fighting to abolish public schools because they don't believe anything from public school except when they said "gommie bad".

    See, because this loser doesn't know how to read, he didn't realize that it is a description of 'capitalism in the U.S. vs. capitalism in Europe (presumably)', cause hell, Aldi's has cashier chairs.

    Also, I could just as easily say, the cashiers should be able to dictate their own working conditions collectively. Boom just solved your problem. The answer is Communism.

    Galaxy brained. The problem was that cashiers have unique asses and can't sit in human chairs. Incredible!

    "Just trust porky bro!"

    Porky: "Uhhh, I just invented chairs??? No I will not let cashiers use them tho. You're welcome!"

    Also, Dan Price is one of the Porkies THEY'RE DEFENDING!
