Yes definitely. Better to have done it in advance but might as well try.

Better to have applied for a job on the high street a couple of months ago. You’ll struggle to just suddenly find one but always better to ask. You might get lucky?

A lot of shops and supermarkets (e.g. tesco, mcdonalds etc etc) require you to apply online, on the careers section of their website. So try there.
Also try websites such as indeed.com
