Why are stores so opposed to cashiers and other people who stay in one spot for their entire shift having a chair or stool? Aldi's isn't falling apart because they let their cashiers sit while working. Why can't more stores be like this?

It should be a choice and sitting can keep energy rather than drain it.

I think it's a psychological thing in part: standing ensures you're visible to any customer that comes around if they need help. But also I think it's so the employer knows you're more likely to be looking around and observing the customers vs. sitting and hunkered down over a phone. We've been conditioned to think of people standing in service jobs as being attentive and ready to help; sitting implies they're on break or loafing.

Okay

The more relaxed you become the less attentive to your job you become. Plain and simple.

I know my work will allow people to sit while doing their job if medically necessary all they have to do is submit a doctors recommendation.
