why is it painful to be on your feet for extended periods of time? Is weight a big factor?

I’ve been working at McDonald’s for almost 9 months now, and any shifts longer than 4 hours, my feet start to hurt.

I am overweight, Last time I checked it was 230lbs. But I have heard of similar complaints from coworkers and people online.

Is it the case of too much of a good thing? (Being active and about)

5 year McVet. At the end of the day, your feet and legs will hurt a bit. It’s a long day at scurry speed. It gets easier as you do it. Try and find the right shoes. For me, it was shape ups. Now it’s converse, but I don’t think those are OK for McWork.
Since I left, I can’t sit at a desk all day. I have to be on my feet. So I use a standing desk.
