Some chains do hire people to work in the back or only do stocking shelves type of things. You could ask if they have those type of positions available. In general you might want to specify what you looking for when you are applying. When retail hires new employees, they usually expect that they’ll be flexible, unless you specified that you don’t want to work with customers.

It’s because I wouldn’t get hired probably if I were to ask for specific accommodations. You need to ne flexiible with retail jobs.
Even stock people might nred to help ring people up at times.
I only took this job because I literally could not find anything else. I tried. Retail work will hire almost anyone who has open availability. It’s easy to get. They aren’t uber picky like most places are..
Well, some retailers are. I got rejected for a overnight stock position recently at one place. I don’t think the hiring manager liked me or how I answered his one million questions.
I don’t have any degree aside from a h.s one & no special skills. I’m stupid & I think most people can tell that I’m kind of dumb.
I take forever to learn new things. I’m not good at interviewing or making first impressions.
So my choices are severely limited.I’d definitely look into getting a job in computers or doing remote work if I had the skills for it.
I tried to learn about computers, but I gave up on it two or three times as the clssses were confusing & way to fast paced for me.
I don’t have that many options unfortunately. If I’m not able to learn the register well enough to be on my own soon, then I’ll ask them to put me on the floor.
I’m dumb but smart enough to realize they’ll let me go if I’m to slow on the register.
