My sister has some serious back problems because of working as a cashier in a grocery store. She was working long hours, trying to go to school, and not taking care of herself and it eventually all caught up to her.
About the male cashiers.. I can't speak for every store, every where, but the local Wal*Mart has a preference for women cashiers. Again, I don't know if that's company policy or just this one particular store. Also, my sister's old boss prefered to hire shorter people because the counters and belts were built too low. He told her it was to help keep the taller kids from getting hurt (bending over all day and pushing stuff through), I tend to think he didn't put the taller kids on the registers because they looked so damn ridiculous.
