The major destination outdoors chain I worked at had stools we could bring out for cashiers, but only if there was a documented medical necessity. They were actively hostile towards employee comfort.
My favorite though was when they turned off the AC (it was controlled from corporate) when it was 100 degrees outside to save on the electric bill. Customers stopped shopping because it was miserable, and without the AC running the whole place got super humid and over a million dollar’s worth of guns rusted.
But the facilities team at corporate was able to say they saved a few thousand in electric bills.
