Are there any retail jobs that still train?

Got my first 2 jobs this year. I felt very unprepared to actually do the work at either due to a lack of training. From operating the register properly, how to properly engage with guest, health protocols, understanding whos above me etc. + I'm constantly pushed into areas I'm unfamiliar with. I constantly have to explain to guest “I'm not over here often.” Or I have to call for help when I was supposed to be support 🙁 I could handle all the unwritten social rules if only I had the basics of my job down… I'm so stressed. I'm under the impression that theres no retail jobs left that offer proper training or theyre are not consistent across stores. Im afraid I might be job hoping forever due to this. If there are any that REALLY train, please list them.
