I've found the opposite. Many demand previous retail experience. Also, you have to be able to work flexible and changing shifts every week, and include nights, weekends, and holidays. I don't know when you're supposed to recharge or sleep, esp. since they also demand you stay perky, energetic, and friendly all the time.  THIS, in addition to being able to stand/walk/stoop all day, plus being able to lift up to 50 pounds. All that, and for low pay.

What the heck is right! Or WTF, LOL. I haven't heard of the volunteering thing, but their online application discriminates against older workers. They ask, "Are you at least 18 but under 40?" So, it will weed out over 40 workers. This must be illegal, but I honestly don't have the energy to complain to the right government agency.
