Overall, maybe around 10-15 years, from working in a family business to management, ranging from cafe to retail stores to computer stores, and own/operating retail businesses (3 times). My main work however has always been computer - programming, integrator, systems engineer etc.
I agree that a lot of people working retail today, especially for big corporations, don't seem to realize what it's really about.
