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)

A study was done that shows for each pound you lost you take ~4 lbs of pressure of your knees. I’m not saying you being overweight is what is doing it, but it’s not helping it.
You should also try paying attention to how well your knees “track” or move in line with your toes. What you want is “II” as a opposed to “/”. Which is to say you may be twisting your knees in comparison to where your feet are pointed, and that’s gonna hurt too.
Also, just standing and doing the same repetitive motions is gonna cause discomfort. It’s good to be active but not as good as active with intent. Try going for brisk walks before work and smoother ones after. You’d be surprised how a little walking will help.
