Cashiering?

You are going to get differing opinions on this one...

However, I think it would depend on what you have your activity level set at and what your daily goal is...

Personally, I would probably just eat an extra healthy snack today...

I would not count that as exercise.

I wouldn't. I don't count cleaning as exercise, even tho I have to go up and down stair all day for laundry. I only count exercise if my heart rate stays up while doing it.

You probably feel like you are doing a lot of physical activity because you stand for extended periods of time...I know the feeling, I am a waitress. Unfortunately you probably feel like you ran a few miles especially on a busy shift, but without a consistently raised hear rate you probably don't have a calorie burn significant enough to log.

No, it doesn't count. Don't log it.

I work a desk job but started standing up at my desk. I've read that standing burns 100 more calories per hour than sitting, but I \figure it's just a bonus burn. I don't count it anymore. I used to but I felt like it was slowing down my weight loss. So I stand but don't usually log it. My activity log is set at sedentary though.

I work at a grocery store as well, and I don't count standing at the cashier since the movement is kind of small when I start to think of it, kind of like doing the dishes at home, and I don't count that as an excercise either - although I know I don't do that for four hours straight.

When my shift includes a lot of walking or heavy lifting (stocking the fruit section or taking care of other sections with heavy products like juices, milks, etc), I count some of it by logging it as something like walking or light cleaning - but not for the entire duration of my shift since there will be more standing around, helping customers/chatting with them than I think. I downloaded an app called Moves to my iPhone, it calculates my steps like a pedometer and tracks my walking times and locations on a map, and I was pretty shocked to see that during my 6 hour shift that I thought was mostly walking and stocking shelves actually included only 1hr 50mins of walking, and the rest was standing in place, lifting some products etc.

Hey there, when I stated MFP I was a cashier, and now I work on the sales floor - by comparison there is a huge difference in standing at the register on your feet, and actually moving on your feet all day. The other day I actually had to fill in for a missing cashier and I spent the 8 hours either jogging in place, doing side steps, and hamstring curls (yes I'm sure I looked ridiculous, but I was also ringing outside and most people just thought I was doing it to stay warm) because I wanted to have an active day even if I was ringing.
That being said, standing burns more calories than sitting, so stay well fed, use some of your calories for snacks throughout your day

I use a fitbit to log that sort of stuff, with my profile set to sedentary, it works well for me. I have a job where I walk around a lot, never sit down, pick up and push heavy things, etc. So I figured it would be best this way.
