The negative points about your retail job aren't specific to that one company. It's every retail job.
Things will not be better at the next retail job.
The only way out is to get a 9 to 5 desk job that does not involve selling.
That rules out tech support. You still have to sell shit. In any kind of customer service job, you'll probably have to sell shit. You'll have quotas for the amount of shit you have to sell. You'll have quotas on how much time you spend helping each customer.
Learn a professional skill. Sure, those kinds of jobs entail their own brand of bullshit, but at least they pay enough to make it worthwhile.
