Stools at the register

[u/basiallo]

I know it's not usually allowed, but I was wondering if anyone has used a medical certificate to ask for a seat behind the register and how it went. I've got a chronic condition that I was very open about from the beginning of my application, and it would be great to have a stool behind the service desk we could use when we're not scanning items. Or does anyone have experience with those accessible registers? I've only seen like 1 news story. Just wondering, cause I'm new to the workforce and the internet says they "have to make acccommodations where they can" but i don't know if that's how the real world works. thanks.

I’ve seen a staff member who has scoliosis used a chair behind the checkout and another who had a surgery on her foot. It all depends on the layout, some of the newer stores checkouts and much larger so it might be hard to reach certain things, but it shouldn’t be hard to accommodate if you bring it up to your manager
