I asked my brother what it's like working

I really want to get a job for the summer. My brother is 24 and still lives at home. He doesn't pay rent but he works and helps out with money sometimes. He works part time in retail. I asked what it's like and he said "You clock in. Get your til. Set up your register. Then turn off your emotions for 6 hours". Does retail really suck that bad because I wanted to try to get a job at forever 21.
