checkers

Wednesday, July 6th, 2005

Since I have been here in Germany, I have almost never seen a cashier or checker at a supermarket or drug store who stands. All of them have regular office chairs and sit at the register. It is a little strange at first, since you look down on them - especially someone as tall as I am. I don’t know why the ones in the U.S. stand, anyway. Wouldn’t you rather sit the whole day than stand?
