The story goes on to explain how mainly big box stores are being sued for failing to provide suitable seating for cashiers.
Look for more business to either leave or reduce their presence in the state.

They will just buy stools...
but wait...
didn’t we just get the word that “sitting is more dangerous than smoking”?
CA is now killing people AND jobs.

I was talking to a hotel exec and all employers in California must provide seating for employees, not just retail stores. It’s a nightmare but then so are the majority of Californians.

One of our local checkers has a prostetic leg (and a purple heart and bronze star). The store has his lane set up so he can work seated.

My first boss told me “If you've got time lean, you've got time to clean.” I was a cashier at McDonalds.

"All working employees shall be provided with suitable seats when the nature of the work reasonably permits the use of seats," the provision says. "When employees are not engaged in the duties of their employment and the nature of the work requires standing, an adequate number of suitable seats shall be placed in reasonable proximity to the work area and the employees shall be permitted to use such seats when it does not interfere with the performance of their duties." Sounds to me that some sort of "break room" is in order. Stupid F'n lawyers are going to shut down even more jobs in California.
How is Jerry Brown going to keep the handouts going without taxpayers?

IMO, this is about time. Being able to sit intermittently will be quite helpful. I don’t know how checkers stand for 8 hrs every day without being able to sit — especially the pregnant women & older folks.
I think it was California that led the way on no smoking in restaurants, infant car seats, & the seat belt laws — starting back in the 1980s when Rush was railing against the smoking laws. He is not always right and he acknowledges that every day w/ his “97.9%”.

Having hired people over the years, most jobs should have a "job description" included in the interview process to be reviewed and signed off by the potential employee that they can do all the duties listed. Being able to stand for 4 hours straight is normally one of the duties listed in retail positions
There also should be a section in the interview process to list any ADA "Americans with disabilities Act" provisions that would prevent the person from doing that job and the employee has to accommodate them
I don't see how this will get much traction legally, but of course we are talking about California
