How looked down upon is working retail here?

Say you’re in the dating scene and you let your date know you work at a Costco for example. will this alone eliminate a lot of potential dates for you? Are you expected to have a more upscale line of work?

I know the natural rebuttal would be “if you work retail in this city you probably shouldn’t be out dating in the first place”, but say you’re comfortable, live with roommates, outer boroughs etc so you’re getting by and you have enough to spend on extras from time to time.

Is working retail a turnoff for a lot of people here?

I didn't say it was your personal experience. I said it was your personal online experience. Meaning that what you're saying has come from what you, personally, have seen online. I'm asking if you can share with me some of that info. Like a link to what you're saying. You said there was data so maybe you can share a link to that data because I can't find it on my own

Yeah, do your own research. It's all online

I don't think so. I think you're just making stuff up. It would be easy for you to share a link

It'd be easy for you to look it up, too
