Sad to see this sort of behavior in other countries. Here in the US boomers will pass out from rage if they see a cashier sitting on a stool.

What really. Is that why in the US they always stand up? Because social culture dictates it? Crazy

The only place I've ever seen a cashier sitting in the US is Aldi because that is normal in Germany

It must be a rite of passage for middle managers to say "if you've got time to lean, you've got time to clean."

That is just cruelty
