For me personally, I could not work a retail job (think about a popular chain cafe) just because it's too hectic for me. I worked at said chain cafe for a year. My anxiety was awful there. I would ask so many questions and feel so dumb for doing things wrong and not knowing how to make certain drinks. The only thing that really kept me there a year was the extra money and there were one or two coworkers I liked. Actually, that's not charitable, I liked the majority of the people who worked there. I did get overwhelmed and I quit, though. I was also only working there part-time while I attended university full-time. It still wasn't the greatest job for me. I need something more self-directed, I learned.
