as a customer in Europe I want my chashier to be comfortable while working, it means they don’t get tired as fast and won’t make as many mistakes that come from being tired
If you’ve ever worked retail or food service, you’d know exactly the Becky, Karen or Kyle that would complain to the manager about that. Made me really appreciate the good management that I had when they’d tell the bitches to fuck off with that bullshit
Worked retail for about 20 years. Could probably count on both hands the amount of times people were rude to me. That was in Scotland though, they’re at least partly civilised
Man, must be nice to work in that sort of an environment. I worked retail and food service for like 5 to 6 years, and I’d be lucky to not get at least one a week.
The thing is it’s fucking true, if the law doesn’t require it certain Karens WILL complain to a manager if they see someone sitting down.
When I was working at McDonald’s I was on a break and grabbed a pop from the lobby. Some guy waiting for his order saw me, got upset, and asked me specifically how much longer his order was going to be. I don’t know dude, but they are taking care of it. I can’t make your patty cook faster by going over and staring at it.
The ones who get your attention by clearing their throat.
The ones who whistle to get your attention. I have a coworker who fucking hates that. I feel a bit disrespected by it but he will talk about it for days if a customer whistles at him.
The ones who ask you to tell them which appliance is the best one.
The ones who are already glaring when they see you. The ones who come to your section, when a different section’s staff is nowhere to be found, and say “Think maybe I could get some help??” as if the reason you weren’t helping them was laziness.
The ones who bitch about nobody working and how service is so bad, completely failing to understand that you are the one at work, doing your job and that the people they’re pissed at are home, not there in front of them.
The given excuse is “Customers don’t like seeing you sitting down.”

USA is just weird
More like it means they won’t develop lower back problems and dodgy knees later in life
If customers “prefer” to see cashiers standing, your customers are utter cunts 😂
Its rarely the customers that actually complain, it is usually spineless executives that see their employees and their customers as dollars
Rare?!?!? What kind of fucking horrible human being do you even have to be to complain about someone sitting down?!?
I think yous cunts are using that whole “death penalty” thing on the wrong motherfuckers 😂

Not so much environment, as culture
Have they actually polled customers? It seems like the bosses don’t like seeing them sitting down.
And regardless of what the customers think, don’t the employees matter?
Employees don’t matter in the US.
fuck racism and homophobia, cashiers sitting down is the worst offense in this universe

Well why the hell not??
I figured it was because of our fucked up “if there’s time to lean, there’s time to clean” mentality.
Actually only the shittiest customers mind that.
