As I have often observed in Migros stores (but also in the Coop), I also had to observe today in Migros Seen that the sales assistants (have to?) stand with their shoes on the thin edge of the shelf when they fill the refrigerated shelf, this time it was the refrigerated shelf for cheese and grated cheese.
What bothers me is that the tips of the shoes then touch the packaging of the grated cheese or other dairy products etc..
I also wonder if it's not a bit dangerous? What if the sales clerk steps on it and falls?
I would like to see a general solution found at Migros at least, so that the sales assistants could be given a small elevation/ladder or stepladder to enable them to reach the upper shelves safely and hygienically when they need to restock or check them.

Bodenseeknusperli, I come from the suburbs and see it the same way you do.
Apart from the organizational difficulties, I find it a bit disproportionate to make a change of this magnitude because of the dirt that can be transferred from the toe of the shoe to the outer packaging. It's easier to just run a cleaning cloth over the goods after they have been put away.
OR, as a customer, you can reach for one further back and leave the front one for those who don't mind.

I also wondered how much dirt could be transferred (and I'm pretty picky myself).
I see it like Bodenseeknusperli and Gingerbread,
You can really overdo it!
Dragging a buck or a ladder along with you is almost bordering on
almost bordering on ratio nonsense.
I've also thought about how much dirt gets stuck on the packaging,
which is thrown away anyway.
It's not even necessarily the protection of the toe of the shoe that can be perceived as annoying.
I've also seen packaging almost being crushed by the shoe.
Apart from the question of hygiene. What about the safety of employees?
I wonder whether this balancing on the refrigerated shelf is even SUVA-compliant?
By the way, it's not a problem with regard to support aids. There are such rolling aids. There are a few of these in Migros, or even in the Coop, especially for such cases. Unfortunately, they are often left unused by employees in the corner.
Here is a picture of such a climbing aid to illustrate this:

@Bodenseeknusperli
I only mentioned that such climbing aids are available.
I agree with you that these should not be seen as the best solution.
I am not against Migros employees, I think Migros should do everything it can to ensure that there is no dangerous situation at the workplace for Migros employees.
That's what the law says:
According to Art. 328 para. 2 CO, Art. 82 para. 1 and 2 UVG and Art. 6 para. 1 and 3 ArG, the employer is obliged to take all measures to protect the health of employees that are necessary according to experience, applicable according to the state of the art and appropriate to the circumstances of the company.
When I have to watch how individual Migros employees (have to) dance around on the thin edge of the refrigerated shelves, it makes me uncomfortable.
@Loxiran
I understand what you mean ?
But I have to tell you that I've been annoyed by those rolling sticks.
Here at Migros they have these things , use them and often " forget " to take them away again .
I can't tell you how many times I've stumbled over them, which is not easy for my walking disability ?
Good morning everyone
@Loxiran Thank you for your message and your questions. I will talk to the people responsible and get in touch with you again. Kind regards, Nicole
Good morning @Loxiran
The guidelines at Migros are clear: the employees who fill the shelves should use a safe climbing aid if necessary. I will report your experience to the Seen store and remind them of the requirement, thank you for your feedback. Kind regards, Nicole
