Working retail is 1000% easier than working food service. Especially if the food service is anything that runs at night/weekends/holidays.
You will never ever get me to work food service ever again.
I have been physically assaulted and shot at working retail.
It's not a competition
Feel like the average retail worker does not experience that though
Average food service is probably way more intense than average retail
Edit: actually, I'm Canadian so the average American retail worker probably does have a way worse experience than up here, I'm so sorry💀

I've never been shot at but knives are common as is people shoving you out of the way for liquor.
I'm not competing, sorry if it came off that way! I mean this for me obviously, I'm comparing my experience with my experience. They're both shit but oh my god I will take going back to retail over food service, I genuinely think I would do something to myself.
...I did not like food service
Yeah I have worked food service too, and yes it's a different kind of horrible.
At least with a chunk of retail positions, you can just walk away. If you're in a kitchen... you've got nowhere to go.
