I worked retail for about 15 years and don't envy anyone still working there. Truely one the the most thankless jobs. There are more nasty people out there then good ones. Being retired, I would like to have a parttime job, but absolutely refuse to work in the retail business anymore. I retired from an office job, had been out of retail for about 10 years then. And it is so true that employees spend so much time cleaning up after customers.
