It’s not just Walmart, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cashier sitting in any chain store. Food service & retail workers pretty much never get to sit on the job. If we’re talking about any big-box retailer the cashiers are never sitting. I looked up some photos of cashiers sitting, and they feel noticeably off. Maybe other parts of the country are different, but at first glance I’d probably assume a cashier sitting down is in a wheel chair, it’s definitely not normal.
That said, I think it’s silly and cruel. It’s not something I often think about anymore because I don’t work retail, but now I’m gonna be looking for any cashiers sitting down the next time I go out lol.

Aldis has chairs for the cashiers that’s just one I know for sure but I know ive seen others.
You point to a European company famed for their good labor practices?
I’ve worked a fair bit of retail, and was not allowed to sit.
Hell, I’ve worked as a helpdesk manager in organizations where I was not supposed to sit for more than 1 hour a day.
lol, america is so fucked up.
Oh man, It’s fucking miserable here.
