BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Reuters) - Supermarket cashiers in Argentina are being forced to wear diapers to keep them from taking toilet breaks at work, a union says.
Female cashiers in western Mendoza province must wear adult diapers in case "cold, nerves, pressure or stress" provoke incontinence, union official Jorge Cordova told local news agency Diarios y Noticias on Thursday.

Cordova refused to name the supermarket, but he did say the chain is backed by foreign capital, said Sandra Varela, Mendoza's labor subsecretary.

OMG! That is SO stupid! The thought of it makes me want to cry, cry, CRY!!!!! To put those poor people through such torture! It's so humiliating and degrading, too. :no:
I mean, what if someone was constipated, or if the person farted really loud, wouldn't it be obvious? And wouldn't the diapers smell, too??
But, you know what I also think? Nobody can see what you're wearing under your pants, therefore the cashiers could get away with NOT wearing the diapers.
That's terrible news, and I really feel bad for these people. They should be able to take a freaking toilet break, for christs sake! It makes me sick hearing that, and it sounds almost abusive.
That news just makes me sick, angry, and sad for the cashiers.
