Why: Because the grounding data provides no known digital values for its child occupations, the scalar relies entirely on the NAICS lens and description. The description explicitly outlines the physical retailing of merchandise (sporting goods, musical instruments, flowers, pets). Retail operations require significant physical presence for inventory handling and in-store customer interaction, mixed with point-of-sale systems and administrative tasks, placing this industry in the physical-leaning hybrid band.
