You can't really say you worked retail until you've had to play Social Worker for 15-30 minutes and talked to an old person who has nobody to talk to.
If you're lucky the old rascal will tell you something unhinged but it'll be weirdly charming and not racist or sexist (it's a throw of the dice but that's life)
people will still really call it "unskilled labor" when the percentage of the population that can gracefully deal with this is infinitesimal and you can't learn it from a bootcamp
