    Yeah I don’t get it. As a customer, when I go into a store and the cashier is sitting down at the register, I don’t think to myself “wow, what a lazy jerk!”. I think “I’m glad these guys get to sit down while working”. Because I never see a cashier during idly just goofing off. Sitting or standing, they always seem to be working hard. And I don’t understand this stupid idea that sitting is somehow unprofessional.

    Furthermore, as someone who gets lower back pain if I stand for too long, fuck these useless asshole managers!

      I wouldn’t care if a cashier was goofing off a little 😂 as long as they got around to doing the job

      I’ve seen cashiers goofing off when things aren’t busy… but I would still not give a shit if they had a chair beyond thinking, “at least they get to sit down doing an awful job like that all day.”

      Some people just genuinely do not seem to understand that workers (and many other people) are actually thinking human being with thoughts and emotions and sensations like pain.

      It’s something i’m very glad almost everyone here understands, workers are largely just treated like the normal people that they are and customers are more likely to actively help them than they are to make a fuss about anything.
