I work at a popular retail chain in the U.S.
I make $9.50/hr while trying to earn my bachelor’s.
My boss got mad at me because I leaned on the counter to rest a minute after being on my feet for 5 hours.
Apparently, if I’m not checking out customers I should be unpacking and stocking.
It makes me feel hopeless because almost every retail chain in America has similar policies.
Retail workers deserve seats. Sorry bout it.
