As far as I know Aldi is one of the only chains in the US that let's cashiers sit. Makes sense since it's not a US company

In Germany, cashiers usually sit.. there are only very few exceptions and those have a reason for the cashier to be on his feet other than "look busy pal".

I think Winco does as well, but it's been a while since I've shopped there.

Ethnic grocers don't have chairs, even if it’s the ethnic owner running the checkout, so it's not necessarily just a US thing.

Some of them do. My local tiny place has a chair. They hardly speak English and they stand while checking you out, but then they just sit down and chill.
