Tesco just reject me all the time and I tried Sainsbury's and went to the interview but apparently, I was unsuccessful, and now I can't really apply to any other role because I've failed them all. :/

For Tesco you can reapply as much as u like but not for the same position. Did you put right to work stuff down?

There are no other positions that are suitable and yes I did, I actually just got rejected a couple days ago, that I applied too like last year! Are there any other places you know of that take on 19-year-olds?

It's retail, you won't find anywhere you like. Retail is terrible wherever you are. You should be less picky when looking for jobs.

Retail pretty much recruits throughout the year. Look on websites like Indeed.com and go to your local High Street as some places advertise by putting a sign in their windows. Do you have previous experience?

If you are struggling to find a retail job, have you considered jobs like waitressing or bar work?
