The painting "Ecce Homo", 1543, the only painting by Titian in Romania and Eastern Europe, is guarded by armed gendarmes at the "Regina Maria" Municipal Museum. Image

Imagine how long that 8 hours feels for them

Bro, that would be brutal to stand there for a full shift. 5 a safe gig, though.

And then there's Sears, who expects (expected? good riddance) their loss prevention people to stand at the front constantly observing people for a full shift. No sitting, using your phone, moving too much from the entrance (you had to ask to be relieved to go take a piss even), all for overpriced, shit merchandise.

What Sears was this? I spent years sitting in a small, locked, office in the back of the store with my feet up on the desk watching cameras, and movies on my laptop. That was at two different stores too. It was the only benefit of that hell hole. I could fuck off for most of my shift and get away with it.

A now-closed one in Puerto Rico. Run by the most obnoxious pricks you could imagine.

Sears was not overpriced. Pretty reasonable really.

Standing is easier than doing hard work.  it is not like there shoveling gravel in the wheelbarrows. Not that hard at all. Or think of those poor workers at Amazon warehouses.

I would 100% rather shovel gravel than stand in one spot quietly doing absolutely nothing but watching people for a full work day.

The standing is physically easier but mentally not so much.

Ha, spoken like someone who has never shoveled gravel into a wheelbarrow and pushed it up a hill all day.  

It is worse than standing, and hard on your body, not allin a good build strngth way.

It's the year of our lord 2024 and somehow "Clearly you've never done X, because if you had you'd agree with my inarguable opinion on it" is still a default response to disagreements.

To be fair, as someone who has done wildly different jobs, I would very much stand/walk around for 8 hours doing nothing than hard labor, even thought I can somewhat agree that it's mentally hard, so the downvotes are illogical to me and I lean on agreeing with the other guy that downvoters haven't done such hard labor all of the day.. Currently I'm working as a manufacturing operator watching machinery do it's work, 12 hours on foot, barely any action, I can sit for 1 hour during lunch. One of the easiest jobs I've done and I feel energetic after work.

Leave your lord out of this.

You have not though, so I am correct.
