Working Retail - Cals Question

HI everyone!
So this summer (and for a little while longer), I've been working retail as a cashier. I am on my feet the entire time and I never stop moving (as stupid as it sounds), be it bagging items, picking things up, walking around when things are slow, etc. I have my calories set at sedentary (1200/day) because I don't want it set higher since I don't work every day. Therefore, the days that I do work, I add in 50 cals / hour (I subtract my breaks) because I read that you burn 50 calories more per hour when you're standing. I've been working for a while so this is kind of silly to ask now but I was wondering others opinions on how to do this or if this estimate is too high?
Thanks
