Quexotic, All I remember about Kohl’s is that when I work there they took all of the leftover clearance stuff and instead of donating it to a local shelter or anything put it straight into the trash compactor.
This is standard practice at Kohls.
Fuck Kohl’s in particular.
RIPandTERROR, 
Sounds like someone’s about to have an injury
CaptKoala, Oh no, I slipped and fell on this very conveniently placed puddle, better bring that chair back quick smart!
WoahWoah, Anyone that uses elliptical ellipses shouldn’t be given any power at all.
umbrella, 
sit on the fucking floor
M0oP0o, 
This is something I never got. Does the job performance suffer from sitting? Is someone getting paid by the blister?
FlyingSquid, 
If job performance suffered by sitting, all those millions of office cubicle desks around the world would be at standing height.
M0oP0o, Weird part is they also hate standing desks for those same office workers. Something about being healthy at work must be killing profits.
chiliedogg, I used to work retail, and we had some stools at the registers and started getting a shocking number of customer surveys come in with low scores saying that the employees were too lazy to stand up at the register.
Starkstruck, Fucking puritan boomers man.
M0oP0o, People suck, this is I think in the break room though. So I guess people realllly suck?
chiliedogg, (edited ) Inside door of the break room won’t say “Employees Only.”
It’s probably the customer service counter that had the stool removed, and that’s behind the counter going to the offices.
M0oP0o, Ah still stupid, but not pants on head stupid.
EvolvedTurtle, I swear Customers like this have never worked like Litterly any job ever I guess
RoyaltyInTraining, 
There should be laws against forcing people to stand for their entire shift.
sparkle, In relatively civilized countries, there are. Unfortunately, the US is not a civilized country
SouthEndSunset, It’s coming to the U.K. too. I’m assuming that this is about people working on tills. I honestly don’t see what the problem is with people who can sit, sitting.
Ensign_Crab, Sounds like they’re suggesting that someone needs to have an injury.
kibiz0r, For me, it’s the inconsistent line spacing.
ChickenLadyLovesLife, For me, it’s the ellipses with way more than three periods.
intensely_human, Think of it as slam poetry
asteriskeverything, The chair?
Kolanaki, 
Brickhead92, Woah! I didn’t expect that.
NorthWestWind, 
My uni friend used to sit on the benches outside some professors’ offices. Then our uni started sticking up papers saying those seats are “reserved”.
We walk past that place a good amount every week, and there’s always no one.
FlyingSquid, That’s when you sit there and when someone tells you it’s reserved you say, “yep. It’s reserved for me.”
Threeme2189,
- Remove papers
- Crumple up papers
- Throw away papers
- Sit on bench
ManniSturgis, I’m somewhat of an Anarchist myself
RizzRustbolt, A true anarchist would set up more benches.
sparkle, On the ruling class’ private property where they then own the bench? Hell nah
heavy, "Ever since we kept the chair out of the break room, sales have skyrocketed!"
- Make believe logic
ChaoticNeutralCzech, …the number of employees seen limping has skyrocketed!
– What actually happens
jxk, The number of employees with chronic back, knee and joint problems that manifest only years later when they don’t work at Kohl’s anymore and thus are not visible to management has skyrocketed. – What actually actually happens
naun, I deveoped varicose veins within my first few years of working on till in a grocery store. This was in my early twenties, and for the rest of my life. The company doesn’t care, even while you work there. Fuck these policies.
EvolvedTurtle, I used to work at Walmart
My first sign was seeing like almost every employee have a slight limp
My second sign was me proceeding to develop a slight limp
I was litterly only there for 3 months And we had chairs in the break room
Crackhappy, 
I read the title differently, chemistry.
ILikeBoobies, As a side note: try to stand if you can, it’s way better/way easier for you past the first two weeks of getting used to it
Your future back will thank you
scoobford, Standing for 8 hours a day is absolutely not good for you, and will destroy your joints.
ILikeBoobies, Walk around and lean, you aren’t at attention
FuglyDuck, 
You wouldn’t happen to be a manager at Kohl’s?
ILikeBoobies, Just a worker that has done 8 hours of standing as well as 8 hours of sitting
Honytawk, Great, but can you keep that bullshit to yourself? Nobody wants to be like you.
And claiming it is somehow good for your back is also unscientific.
SpaceNoodle, If you’ve got time to lean, you’ve got time to clean.
Nounka, I can’t. Standing 10 minutes and my back starts killing me. Move around? That can win me 30 minutes. Not 3 hours to the midday and endwork belll
ILikeBoobies, Seems like your younger self needed my last sentence
FlyingSquid, So you’re saying people shouldn’t be allowed chairs when they’re older because of things they did when they were younger and no one told them what you just did?
How about pregnant women? Okay for them to have chairs in the third trimester or will standing all day be good for the fetus?
ILikeBoobies, try to stand if you can
Learn to read
FlyingSquid, I also read this in response to someone who said they can’t:
Seems like your younger self needed my last sentence
ILikeBoobies, Yeah, if they did it when they were younger then they wouldn’t hurt so much now
Doing it now isn’t going to help their younger self
FlyingSquid, No, but sitting will help them now and employers not allowing people to do that is the issue.
ILikeBoobies, So back to the original
If you can
Pick if you want to talk about now or when they were younger
Either way you’re wrong
FlyingSquid, Sure sounds like you were saying “no one needs to have a chair, they just need to stand when they were younger” and I don’t appear to be the only one who thought so.
FlyingSquid, How about giving people the option to sit down if they want to?
KillingTimeItself, i’m sittin on the floor now. I hear it’s comfy down there.
Fuck it, i might even lay down a little.
Swedneck, 
everyone needs to learn to squat, turns out humans have a built in camping stool
KillingTimeItself, a proper slavic squat is pretty good but can stiffen up the knees after a long while.
I hear the ground is omnipresent though.
Entropywins, Cuddle on up we already down here…
KillingTimeItself, i mean if you really think about it. The ground is just one really big bed. So if everyone laid down at the same time, would that technically mean that the entirety of humanity is cuddling?
mp3, 
Micromanglement relying on petty and unnecessary suffering to assert dominance on their wage-slaves.
