    I happened to be in an Aldi over the weekend, and made a comment about how the Aldi cashiers are so fast because they aren’t wasting energy by standing up while scanning items.

    The cashier commented that being able to sit down at the register was great, it was like their break time, it was something they looked forward to. I had always wondered why Aldi cashiers were always so happy, and now I know.

      Also they have great health and retirement benefits and are paid a livable wage.

        Yeah from what I hear Aldi’s a great place to work. Downside is I think they usually don’t have a ton of employees and it’s a pretty in-demand job, so it’s a relatively hard job to get.

    As someone who became disabled later in life, I can say this with first-hand experience. The ADA prevents employers from refusing to meet reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities, provided those accommodations do not interfere with their ability to complete the tasks listed in the job description.

      See, but employers, especially shitty ones, still bend over backwards to try and explain how even small accomodations are completely impossible.

      Ah but you see employers will do everything in their power to shoot themselves in the foot if it means employees have a worse time. To them, since they’re broken people, comfort means laziness. So basically anything, no matter how obvious and proven it is, could “interfere”.
