My mom worked retail in an women’s clothing store when I was growing up and was on a straight commission basis. She always did well - lots of suggestive selling and was able to build a clientele of faithful shoppers, sometimes two and three generations of them. Most stores don’t even have clerks anymore.

I worked in a grocery store when I was 19. There were probably no fewer than 30 employees on the schedule on any shift (the large number of female cashiers around my age made it a great place to work! ;)

I was in that same store a few weeks ago. I think I counted a grand total of nine employees, including the manager.
