This is pure cope.
It's physics: Our feet weren't evolved to last 40 years of all-day use. The job, as I understand, is a little more involved than a dude scanning labels and house numbers.
Even your nounification of 'cope' suggests you will only understand this decades from now.
I think you need to go back to school humans are the APEX of endurance animals for walking on this planet. It is 100% within the physical norms of a human to walk all day.. The romans marched almost halfway across the world on foot.
Edit:
Canada post workers walk between 17-22km a day and carry up to 30 pounds of mail https://www.ufcw.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=31576&catid=9845&lang=en#%3A%7E%3Atext=Letter+carriers+perform+physically+demanding%2Cno+walk+in+the+park.
It sounds like a lot until you track activities of active people it is well within reason. A typical warehouse worker in a large warehouse will do similar however it is indoors.
Someone doing recreational back country hiking will also carry that much are walk further.
YES physically demanding but not really extreme for a human.
did you just bring up some nonsensical point to exploit workers? how's that boot taste?
