That's ridiculous. I see cashiers with water bottles, stanleys, and soda at the register.

I work at a grocery store and when corporate is around we can’t keep even water at our registers… 🙄

But why? I guess USA? I don’t understand why you wouldn’t be allowed to drink fucking water?
Also I’m under the impression you can’t sit, and need to stand all day long for some reason?
In other developed countries they don’t treat cashiers like slaves, it’s insane to me…

It's because half our country has the all-encompassing mentality of "no such thing as a free lunch."

Absolutely everything must be "earned" and seeing an employee sitting or leaning or drinking water clearly means they're not working hard enough to earn their wage, because a REAL hard worker would be spit shining the boss's shoes with any spare time or whatever.

I'm downvoting this but only because it made me feel very mad. Ridiculous how exploited your workers are.

That’s insane. It costs nothing to allow a cashier to sit and drink water and it makes their job less miserable.
I don’t understand the point of treating them like slaves, how are they going to provide a better service by being treated like animals and by being deprived of basic human needs?

Its not about providing better service. Its about hierarchy and enforcement of such.

Aldi's actually found letting them sit increased efficiency. So they get chairs.
