Walmart: Allow Cashiers to have stools to sit on.

The Issue

As a cashier, standing up on my feet for up to nine hours a day is taking a toll on my feet and legs, which is impacting my life outside of the store. The management is hell enough, with managers constantly denying requests for time off, regardless of situation, and the 15/30 minute breaks are hardly compensation. Please allow cashiers to sit on stools or chairs. It would make our jobs a lot easier. Aldi allows their cashiers to sit while working, and does just fine, so I don't understand what the issue is with allowing Walmart employees to sit down while working. 

This kind of treatment in prohibiting cashiers from sitting down and forcing them to stand stationary for hours is abusive to our well-being and should not continue.
