And, the cashiers can sit down. Which makes sense.
cashiers aren’t allowed to sit in usa?
Only office workers and managers are allowed to sit. If you’re in a customer-facing position with a chair, you’re supposed to stand up when helping a customer.
And as we all know, middle management does so much work and therefore deserve that right over everyone else.
(sorry I vomited in my mouth a little bit)
When I worked retail, at one of the stores you weren’t allowed to drink water where customers could see you. I chose to ignore that rule and only got chewed out when the store owner happened to be nearby
Cashier stations with chairs are VERY rare, yes. The general trope is that managers/owners think it makes workers appear lazy.
Not at most places. At some point, someone told all the MBAs that it makes the customers mad if the employees look lazy or some shit.
They also tend to make them stand at the beginning of their lane when they don’t have customers. Apparently a light signaling that they are available just isn’t enough.
Edit: My bad. I’ve never seen this at Aldi or Lidl. Just other US chains like Food Lion.
No, and even worse “if you have time to lean, you have time to clean”
Aldi is the only place I’ve seen. However, Aldi recently started installing self checkout, which I despise.
I love good self checkouts. I hate bad self checkouts.
Bad self checkouts are those that alert the sole employee running around between twenty terminals of some discrepancy for every fucking thing. Weight discrepancy! Remove duplicate item! They didn’t select number of bags! Check their receit!
Just leave me be and let me scan my flatbread and leave already. Or open another cashier. Or just don’t implement self-checkout if it’s not really self-checkout.

Not in any stores I have seen in my city.
“up to $23 an hour”… Doing a whole lotta heavy lifting in this headline.
How is it sane to list the maximum you can make, vs what to expect day 1?!
It reads like the minimum went from $18 to $23. So the minimum is up from $18, to $23.
good for them. that’s how you get quality workers and reduce turnover
That’s more than I make and I’m a teaching assistant at a public elementary school. Good for them though!
