My local Walmart has openings for 35 cashiers starting at $6.90/hr.

I can never understand why people who work as cashiers and clerks are never allowed to sit down periodically. It's not just at Walmart....Most department stores have that policy.

That has to be bad on someone's back because the floors in most of those kind of stores are cement or ceramic tile or marble.

I imagine management sits whenever they are tired.

Lots of jobs are done standing on your feet during the work hours. I have done many, including running a punch press when I was young. They get sit on their breaks and their lunch. Lots of jobs are far more stressful than being a cashier in a store of some kind. I always preferred it when it was VERY busy when I was a grocery cashier--long time ago-before scanners-. The day just flew by.

Every stinking factory has that policy, even the union ones, you get a break about every 2 hours and you can set down then.

Most people that work don't sit down making a living.

Welcome to reality.

There's a rule in the service industry that says sitting employees present a lazy front to the customer. People standing are more mobile and look more active and ableto respond to customer needs. Managers in most places can sit when they're doing backroom work, but if they're out in the customer area they're standing like everybody else. Retail is unpleasant work, that's just how it is.
