I’m on medication that can make me spacey af, which can be a problem when I’m driving–like yesterday, for example, when my best friend was trying to help me avoid a pothole he said “to the left,” and I just mumbled “take it back now y'all” and hit the pothole straight on

Here’s a question that no one ever has a good answer for: why are cashiers forced to stand? Who decided people need to stand for 4 hours straight between breaks when they don’t MOVE?

[rozalynpaige]

Would it really hurt if they had, at least, a stool?

[fatfeministkilljoy-deactivated2]

I remember being 16 starting my first job. I was a cashier at a small grocery store and my first shift was 8 hours. My body was absolutely broken afterward. Fortunately my body got used to the standing but honestly, if I had to go back to a very physically demanding job at my current age, I don’t think I could do it.

My respect goes out to those who hustle daily in physically demanding jobs.

[thehotgirlproject]

Thing that kills me though is that standing is a requirement but they get mad if you lean on the counter

[fatgirlopinions]

This is a good question why do they have to stand??

[violetteviolence]

Places like Aldi (a grocery store) let their cashiers sit and it’s the greatest thing ever.

There is literally no reason for cashiers to stand other than gross “aesthetic” reasons like not wanting their employees to look “lazy” and to specifically alienate fat and non able bodied employees. They can’t outright say you can’t work there so instead they find ways to make the job impossible for you.

Most retail cashier jobs are absolutely gross and treat their employees like shit simply for ableist/fatphobic reasons.

I worked at a Rite aid for 4 years and almost every one of our rules were like that. We couldn’t lean on counters or just stand “idly” because we couldn’t look “unproductive” to customers. If customers were in the store we were required to be “busy” at all times. So even if you were just standing behind the counter waiting for people to come up you had to look “engaged.”

Also a lot of our dress code requirements were specifically designed to alienate fat people because the company wanted to “project an overall message of health” and fat employees “detracted from that message.”

[new-found-princess]

I would like to add that some owners now enforce a “no water policy” because it would be unprofessional if a customer were to see a cashier drink from a bottle that was not sold or available at said store. Also at a friend of mines job they changed the uniforms to dress shirts and when they hired a new cashier and she couldn’t fit in said shirts they told her that front end would no longer be seamless seeing as they couldn’t get a shirt in her size (3XL) so was/is forced to wear a stock shirt which is similar to a sweat shirt.

So moral of the story as much as your issue with the fact that maybe we didn’t perfectly pack your groceries or maybe that we didn’t spend your entire order smiling from ear to ear, maybe it has to do with the poor work conditions cashiers and many people in the service industry are forced to deal with, such as make us uncomfortable, tired and unnecessarily sore due to the owners desire to make the customers feel as if we couldn’t be happier to be there.

End of rant.

[fatgirlopinions]

Wow it’s unprofessional to drink water now lol aka “we don’t view you as human how dare you act like one”

[chessieness]

When I was unemployed there was a lady I became friends with who was in her 60′s and she has been out of work for years and all she wanted was a little part time job until she could retire but literally everywhere required her to stand for hours and hours at a time and that’s not something she could do and she had like 30+ years retail experience but couldn’t find a job because no one was willing to work around her. It’s so frustratingggg and people love to frame unemployed people as lazy but most of the time it’s because working environments just aren’t suited for everyone and most employers aren’t willing to cater to their employees needs.

When i was 16, i once worked a ten hour shift in a bakery which included ONE half an hour break. That was the only time during the day that i was permitted to sit down, for the rest of the time i couldn’t so much as lean on the counter.
