Cashiers in the United States stand up for long hours doing their work. In addition to the discomfort of standing in place every day, this leads to long-term medical problems, including back pain, varicose veins and rheumatic diseases.

There is no need for cashiers to stand. In Europe, every cashier has a high chair with wheels. They can pass the groceries on the conveyor belt with no problem. This makes cashiers happier and healthier, which results in better service to the clients and higher loyalty in employees.

Have you tried to stand up for so long without moving? Many cashiers are women that have their period, are pregnant or have health conditions where standing is difficult and painful.

It is truly a useless cruelty to have people suffering the intense discomfort and the long-term medical problems of standing for hours in place, when they could easily have a high chair to sit and their job would be as efficient.
