Entry level job requires references. WHY?!

I just need someone I can rant to. I have been job hunting for months after my business went under. With no education past highschool you can imagine it hasn't been easy landing something that has potential for growth. I finished an interview with HR and while disappointed with the pay they offered, I really needed something at this point. Besides that all seemed well until the very end where they asked to send over 3 references I definitely don't have. Besides the fact that references are probably the worst way to gauge someone's employability, I am a pretty introverted person and don't exactly make friends to ask this kind of thing. I have basically resorted to begging old clients to consider giving me a reference but it just feels dirty. All that for just barely min wage. Hopefully other prospects bear fruit soon but I'll be steaming about this…
