I can totally relate to that. I think working in retail lets you see how people really think and act in the real world. I'm always interested in hearing about notable people who worked in a store at some point. Abraham Lincoln worked as a storekeeper in the early 1830s, and he credited that experience with teaching him about human nature.
The skills you build in retail are underrated. Multitasking, managing personalities (employees and customers), staying calm through the chaos. There are a lot of good lessons to take away from it, even if the day-to-day is exhausting.
