    Yeah it’s bullshit, IDK if it’s because of cheaping out on chairs or because of sheer spiteful “sitting is basically slacking”

          There is no way thats true.

          What do people get to the checkout, see if the cashier is sitting or standing, and them either go buy more stuff or put stuff back depending on what the cashier is doing.

            It’s a real phenomenon caused by irrational assumptions that a sitting cashier will be slower. Mostly a US thing but there is a rationale behind it if a flawed one.
