In USA workers have to stand while at the cash register. I've never seen anyone sitting down.

[@tanyamsq]

Aldi cashiers are sitting down

[@elenanikitina5206]

The Russian Labor Code does not regulate the rules of being at the workplace, i.e. you have to work standing or sitting. This means that it is the employer who sets the rules. The obligation to stand for the entire working day should be written in your job description or in your employment contract , with a justification for the necessity. But there are rules in the Russian Labor Code. Anyone who works standing for more than 60% of their working hours is working in a hazardous work environment. In this case, the employee is entitled to an increase in salary. Those who work standing up for more than 80% of the time are also entitled to additional days off.

[@joshuak5958]

Thank you for this. This is alot like the supermarket I work at in the US.

@@TravellingwithRussell Well, maybe not the 1st but more then once both have been on my shopping list. Do they not include them in Australia supermarkets? In Canada they often have their own brands of glasses/dishes and lightbulbs. In fact, they used to have monthly dishes you could buy with your receipts, so over the period of a year or so you have complete dish sets, complete with gravy bowls and so forth.

[@briankiefer856]

That store, (Magnit), is not as neat and organized, as the other stores you’ve previewed. But, the prices are still considerably less than you would pay in the US. It kind of reminds me of the Safeway stores in the US, where you’ll find pallets and displays cluttered in the aisles. I’ve seen both, the check-out clerk is either standing or sitting while scanning your items. Thanks for the field trip.

[@TravellingwithRussell]

The Magnit's can vary a lot in there look and neatness, I completely agree with you. This store has picked up its act in the last year. I think since my last video. I wonder?

[@martianspy]

In the US the only supermarket where cashiers can sit is Aldi because they are a German company and do not bag the groceries for the customer. Most other US supermarkets bag your items for you. Up until about 20 years ago cashiers always had a designated bagger working with them. Now more often then not the cashier rings and bags everything themselves with only occasional help from a bagger. When I was a bagger as a young teen in the 80s we had to wear a white shirt and tie which was the norm for all supermarkets and many other service jobs. Society was much more customer-service based then.

I used to love Russian pastries and cakes… but when Russia introduced western “industrial” methods, the quality of these industrial pastries and cakes, including candies, significantly declined. Unfortunately.
