When I needed to move several years ago and left my first retail job, a bookstore, I ended up being out of work for almost a year because I wanted to work at a bookstore again and they WOULD NOT call me for an interview ever, and I thought "If they don't want someone with 4 years of bookstore experience, then what exactly are they looking for?" At the very least they had a "hiring" sign in the window and that was terribly depressing. I eventually worked a bit at Best Buy (it's terrible being a cashier there) and then for a longer period at Wal-Mart (was nice when I started but it went downhill). Sometimes I think you have to let go of your wants and standards and just apply anywhere that looks like they are hiring. I'd do that myself except most places require you to stand and I just can't do that right now, at least not for an full shift, or even a half shift.

Ginger, I know it's got to be tough and disheartening when no one calls you back. Keep trying though. I know it's easy to say but I believe you can find something. Good luck and I believe in you.
