    Did you assume I’m American for some reason? I’m just talking about being professional at the work place and focusing on the work during it, a store wouldn’t like people chitchatting with their boyfriend the whole day where I live (Finland) either.

      not you, specifically. but there’s many other examples, like how cashiers are expected to be standing during their work in the US

        First of all, it’s an entire different things. There were people standing in areas they weren’t supposed to be standing in, possibly distracting the employee. Second of all, two things can be shitty - the cashiers having their boyfriends there all the time, and the bosses wanting a cashier to stand all the time. One doesn’t make the other worse or better, it’s just whataboutism.
