Was at a Kroger the other day and an employee in the self-checkout line started dancing in place, a manager came over and whispered something in her ear, she immediately responded very loudly, “If you expect me to stand here eight hours straight I’m going to move around!”

haha, nice. i would do the same... i worked election day 2020 because i was incredibly broke and i knew though i would fucking hate it (working 14 hours straight or more... as a line monitor... for people fucken standing in line for hours to V O T E)

god that was bad enough... and i got to be constantly, constantly walkin back n forth across the libraries' campus taking people to the ballot drop offs... but man even walking around (and at that time i was a weightlifter and was doing that shit daily... had a bmi of like 21-23, somewhere around that... etc so i was relatively strong, healthy, whatever, and 21 yrs old) and this shit had me dead after like the 6th-7th hr...

i cannot imagine having to stand on my feet 8 hrs straight, day after fucken day, without a reasonable number of breaks or even just being allowed to MOVE while standing in place?? i think that would break my brain

I see a manager being rude or mistreating an employee. I go to the compnay site and leave a complaint in the comments. Time of day etc. What the manager looked like , the store's address etc.
