Haha, well retail really starts to be a drag after a certain amount of time. Also with the economy how it is, hours get cut like crazy, but even if they weren't, I don't think I could take it too much longer. I can't imagine myself wanting to ever pursue a career in retail, even if it involved getting a cushy manager job, because it would take A LOT of money for putting up with the day-to-day monotony of retail. But yes, working at a bookstore is better than working at, say, a clothing store or a restaurant, I imagine (never having done either).
