    Nah. Have to stand at self-checkout and make sure the machines work properly and scan IDs for liquor etc. Could very very easily add a stool or fuckin anything, but nowhere I’ve worked like this lets you sit.

    Kinda ironically the worker who trained me today is in a wheelchair and they’ve given him some special accommodations. I’m not visibly disabled but maybe I should ask about getting some kind of accommodation anyway. It’s jading because I “received accommodations” in college and my other workplaces, insofar as they all gave me some paperwork and then practically laughed in my face without giving me an inch. “Sure bud, we’ll get right on that” type shit.

      It’s a shame that reasonable adjustments aren’t the norm. You should wear a step counter or use an app if that would work on your phone and you can keep it with you. I bet you do several miles walking backwards and forwards like that. This might help your argument? You shouldn’t have to make an argument, of course, but if you do have to make your case…

        Absolutely. My workplace is unionized as well, so maybe it’ll be easier to get… something.
