Is it common for retail jobs to hire people as young as 16?

Depends on the type of retail. Last store I worked in, we would hire 16yr olds but they weren't ideal because their school schedules limited them to weekends only. Fast food, movie theaters (or other family entertainment venues) are generally more common.
