It's possible. People tend to dislike retail stores because people there mostly work on commission. One of the stores I work at is in the same (small) town as a retail store. And, it's located in a mall, and we are just a stand-alone store. We STILL get tons of people coming to us because we have the best customer service. When workers get paid commissions, they don't are about the lady who is in the middle of her contract and comes in with a question. We take care of her and not only will she come back to us when she renews, but will advertise us via word of mouth.

It's definitely doable.
