    It’s a Dutch picture. I have never seen a cashier standing up, I think a chair is mandated by law or workers protection rights

        Cashiers in US supermarkets don’t get chairs? Why? Plastic chairs aren’t that expensive.

          As it was explained to me, it’s so that customers can feel superior to the workers that have to stand and suffer. People who can sit while they work aren’t really “working”.

          It didn’t really make sense to me either, but there you are.

          it’s “lazy” according to the “if you got time to lean, you have time to clean” crowd. It 100% does not make sense to me, but do my job from the computer so sitting 80% standing 20% for me…
