It is deeply immoral that cashiers in the US are not allowed to sit.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

It's really OK to change your mind when new facts are presented. It really is.
Like, what are we even doing, here?

In the state of PA if you are over the age of 18, your boss is not forced to give you a break or lunch no matter how many hours you work. I used to work 12+ hr shifts in a gas station and my breaks stopped the moment I turned 18. My boss would brag it was legal to do

Yeah absolutely disqualifying.
They *really* didn’t like being told they can’t grope the interns, however.

Seriously why is this a thing

Like they claim it’s not to look bad in front of customers but as a customer I’ve never felt that employees shouldn’t sit that’s insane

It’s like some dumb old school business mentality or something

Big Balls is in it for the love of the game.
Completely agree on both counts.
Did not expect this to lead to a flood of heartbreaking and infuriating stories in my mentions, but here we are.

I remember having a pulled sciatic nerve when I worked at GameStop and I had to sit through my shift and customers had some fucking reason to complain??

Like my guy im giving you the same quality customer service sitting down what is your malfunction?

Dostoyevsky was masterful at writing this exact type of guy.
Overlay this with that clip of him saying he took away freedom of speech. The ads write themselves.
Jerry would agree with this, I bet.
You would think it isn’t niche, but given the sheer preponderance of managers and customers who seem to equate sitting with being lazy I’m not so sure.

I'm not even allowed to sit behind the counter at work despite having cracked and missing cartilage and my knee randomly giving out
I still sit down sometimes, but only if my manager isn't there because i know my other coworkers sympathize with me for my injury.

I think half of the disabled population in the US that is currently unable to work would in fact be able to work if we were allowed to sit down as cashiers lmfao. Bc office jobs won't hire us and we CAN'T physically do entry level minimum wage jobs

Given how many physical problems office workers encounter due to sitting all day, are we *sure* this is a bad thing?
