Working in retail = cleaning light, moderate?

Hey, guys. Quick question: would my retail job, which requires me to stand for long periods of time and includes store hygiene, be considered cleaning light, moderate?

    When you created your account, you should have chosen an activity level that fits your everyday life (work included). If I were you, I would have chosen:

    Lightly Active: Spend a good part of the day on your feet (e.g. teacher, salesman)

    This way, your day-to-day activity level is already incorporated into your MFP calorie goal, and you would only need to track exercise that is outside of your day-to-day.

    Oh, I actually think I chose that when signing up. Thank you :)
