Also they have great health and retirement benefits and are paid a livable wage.

I worked as a cashier years ago and while I will say, it's probably better for your health to be standing (I work a desk job now and have definitely put on some lbs since leaving that line of work). It's still absolutely ridiculous that employers won't allow cashiers to have a chair. It's just so they can pull that if you've got time to lean you've got time to clean bullshit on you. Instead of resting your body during lulls, they want you cleaning your register, stocking shelves, facing product or "fishing" for customers who need to checkout and are too dumb to get in the check stand with no line and head straight for the 4 person long line because of herd mentality. It's really rough on the feet and back to stand in one place all day without being allowed to sit.

Okay so this story is actually a fucking doozie. This was a very good friend of mine. Right on the cusp of retirement age. She was at the age where she could take it anytime, but was continuing to work longer because she wasn’t going to get very much, and had aspirations to live a lot longer. so one of the jobs she took was this really really high intensity like 12 hours a day as many days a week as you can do standing in a factory peak season to make all of those little customizable mugs and blankets and everything that people get for each other around Christmas. She made it like three days I want to say, and and just straight up never physically recovered from that.

Now, the doozy. I took care of her for like the nine months 10 months or so after that until she died. And the week that she died, I was in jail because I had been going around with a warrant for like two years by that point and I finally rolled a one and got pulled over.

so like when I’m having a bad time, it really feels like the police finished the job that capitalism started.

Anyway, I caught my breath at some point and m now fully embracing the doomed revolutionary shtick. It wasn’t a stretch. Ihave a tasteful facial scar from a police beating and everything.

Ah but you see employers will do everything in their power to shoot themselves in the foot if it means employees have a worse time. To them, since they’re broken people, comfort means laziness. So basically anything, no matter how obvious and proven it is, could “interfere”.

See, but employers, especially shitty ones, still bend over backwards to try and explain how even small accomodations are completely impossible.

I recently watched a Rebecca Watson video where she rips into the "blue zone" concept.

Beyond the ownership class, this ain't happening chief.

Unless you've got some kinda source.

Excuse you, she runs Bombchu Bowling in this reality. Or at least she did up until 2001 when Bombchus were outlawed after 9/11. Now she just works at a Vans.

In 'Murica sitting is sloth, sloth makes you a degenerate, degenerates don't deserve to eat - unless you're a white collar worker, at which point standing makes you the office athlete or a tech sector worker.
