22. Back when I was a union cashier in a grocery store,

(late 70s), we weren't even allowed rubber mats to stand on, cuz a customer tripped on one once. What finally turned the rubber mat thing around? Too many worker's comp claims.

You are right that retail is not a sit-down job. We were expected to stand in front of our registers during times when we didn't have customers. If it was really slow, you'd be sent to face an aisle or something.
