    Fun fact: Aldi are basically the only supermarket chain where they don’t force their staff to stand up, and provide all cashiers with chairs

      We need to bring back right to sit laws in the US. They were passed in most states in the early 20th century, but most have been repealed with time and the general decline of labor rights. Those laws also were sexist and only applied to women. But we could absolutely use gender-neutral right to sit laws.

      That’s so weird. I simply see no reason why all the other US-chains force their employees to stand behind the counter.

        Boomers think that workers being miserable is good customer service.

        the whole point of having minimum wage staff is for boomers to torture people, Karen cant wank unless she yells at an overworked single mother who has not sat down in 7 hours.

        Context already was clear mate, we’re in a thread about Aldi USA

        You didn’t add anything new or useful.

        Edit: huh, bad internet made me post two of the same comment

          No, from context it’s not clear whether you’re talking about their American stores, their German stores, or both. It was a good clarification.
