Not while you forbid cashiers to work sitting down for no reason at all.

Bone spurs don't stop you from standing for 8 hours.

[–] bob_lemon@feddit.org 4 points 4 months ago

To be honest, I've never actually looked up what bone spurs are. I've only ever heard it in the BS-rich context that is Trump, so I didn't bother looking up facts ¯\(ツ)

Thank you for educating me.

Come to Walgreens where you are forced to keep busy 9 hours straight on your feet. Cashier can't just wait on customers. Nope they must constantly look busy stocking etc. It's hell!

When you only have one person operating the entire store, it's so much better for everyone (who owns the store)!

Seriously. I went in for some passport photos and there was literally one guy working there. We had to wait for him to finish sticking and working at the cash register before we got helped.

I didn't say Dollar General. I said Walgreens. We close the store if only 1 employee is available for work.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Not sure where you got dollar general, but I'm talking about Walgreens too.

And I don't think this was only one guy available, this looked to be "mid day we only need 1 guy" sort of deal.

We never have one dude. Always two ALWAYS. You probably didn't see the shift lead working the back. But associates must have a lead on hand. Also Walgreens policy is to close the store if not at least two employees on hand period.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Idk man, dude said he was the only one there and was running all across the store to help people in the different departments.

If the shift lead was there, they were doing a shit job since I had to wait for like 10 minutes for him to cycle through the people before me.

Yeah that strange, when was this and where?
