I've noticed CVS pharmacists have stools, but do they actually get to use them?

If you have back problems, they would be legally required to offer you reasonable accommodation, so, yeah. I know i'll be on pain meds someday for my back problems so i use stools as often as i can. SAVE YOUR BACKS people!! Most pharmacists stand all day. You dont necessarily have to.
Good to know. Yea, I know some older pharmacists with orthopedic problems. I'm not sure if they would have had these problems anyway, or if they are related to years of standing all day at work. Also, are some chains better about this sort of thing than others?
The store I work at (one of the large chains) only has 2 stools in it, district management does not want to provide more. The pharmacist really barely ever uses a stool. Also, I hear the PDM really frowns upon sitting down.
When you graduate you get a gold colored lazyboy recliner along with your white coat. Standing is for the peons.....
I have a Torn ACL with results in instability in my right knee, thus I bear more weight on my left knee resulting in arthritis. My orthopedic guy predicts that unless I get this ACL fixed, I'm looking at a knee replacement by age 40.

I'm guessing its a partial tear. I tore my ACL in half and couldn't walk. I now get shots in my knee and will have a knee replacement in the next 5-10 years because I didn't get it fixed for a while and ground all the meniscus out. Get the chit fixed.
Nope, MRI confirms that it is a complete tear.

I have interned at 3 different chains and never seen a pharmacist sit down while working. They sit on breaks and for lunch, that is all.
At the hospital I intern at, the pharmacists are seated and standing throughout the day, a good mix of both.
My dad has varicose veins and it is not an attractive look.
Breaks? Lunch? That's a luxury in the retail world...
Yeah, statistics show that a lot of pharmacists have varicose veins due to the constant standing up at work.
