I like that they let they're employees sit. No where does that for no good reason.
Not my cup of tee when it comes to price and selection though
Wait, what? Do cashier's stands in other shops in US?
aldi is the only place they are allowed to sit. cashiers in the USA never sit. it is seen as lazy.
Who cares what they do, they can have a nap for all I care. As long as I am able to make my purchase in a timely manner and they're not rude, I don't care what they do.
Look at those hard working people being lazy.
Yup, there is/was a thing where stores wouldn't let cashiers sit down because, according to customer service logic (and the opinions of a few extremely opinionated customers), it looks "lazy".
Lol, this is the dumbest thing I've heard in the long time (The story about sitting making the workers lazy, your comment explains it great, thanks!).
Something is really wrong with that country, doing sadism to employees simply to not appear lazy.
And even in bloody USSR such conveniences were mandated first, despite, eh, Soviet people not living very rich lives.
