I worked retail in the states and was lucky enough to get vacation time - I worked up to 3 weeks before moving to Norway.

We had times they said we weren't allowed to take vacation - mostly around Christmas, but sometimes different. I had trouble getting 2 weeks off in a chunk when my soon-to-be spouse visited, and had to find someone to work my scheduled weekend to do so. Usually they only let you take a week at a time.Some stores would do a payout for vacation time at the end of the year. It was a pharmacy, and we worked holidays and weekends.

Some places are much more strict than this, however. And some places don't offer vacation time at all, though a few offer more.
