I worked as a cook for about ten years before I got into tech, my back still hurts to the point that I have trouble getting out of bed about 5 - 10 times a year from 50+ hours of standing/running around on tile floors. I'm 27. If employers don't want to provide chairs then they should be on the hook for medical costs (and none of this "pay a lawyer and sue us and maybe in 3 years you'll get a partial payment provided we didn't go bankrupt" nonsense). The new American trend appears to be that business should never have to pay any of the externalities they cause and it seems to be a model that both the left and right agree with lately.
