Most stores in North America do not allow cashiers to sit on the job. The reason seems to be for aesthetics - it looks better to customers. The job could easily be performed sitting instead of standing, but stores prefer that employees stand. Do you think it is unethical to forbid cashiers from sitting on the job? Yes
