I do, stand a bit, sit a bit ,I get uncomfortable in the one position. Plus if you were to stand still for 3 hours plus on the sorting/boxing in you're more likely to get varicose veins.
How the hell are you prepping for 3 hours?

If I have to sit then I'll not be able to reach the top row, I doubt the shorter people will be able to do it either and how are you going to reach from one side of the frame to the other.

Really, these things need to be properly thought out and not just listening to one person moaning that their legs get a bit sore after standing for 20/30 minutes.
0545-0745/0800 sorting,then go and box my walk in usually ready to tie up (in the summer) by 0845 that's 3 hours sorting/prepping. For dual preppers all that time will be spent at an RM 2000 frame ( mostly their own one ).

Don't know how anyone can prep whilst sitting down. I would've thought you've got more chance of getting RSI if you are sitting down and stretching your arms to reach the slots. Only chance I get to normally sit down is at break.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

This I believe is the new chair being ergonomically tested for the DOMS,

As you can see there is easy access for the office arse-lickers
