I lost my first job not long after getting it, and I think it's affecting how employers see me

Hi, I've never actually made a post before, but I'm having a hard time finding a job right now so I figured this would be a good place to talk about it. I've been looking for a job since late December, when I was let go. I'm worried that being let go after only a month and a half is making it difficult to find another job, but I feel like I need to include that experience when applying because it was my first and only job so far. And while I'm sure being at a job for such a short time seems bad, I don't think I was let go because of anything that was in my control. Not that I think I can "do no wrong" or anything, I just feel like I'm not directly at fault in this case specifically. For context, I was hired at Wal-Mart as an overnight stocker. I was consistently on time, in fact I don't think I was late once, and I never called out. I was trying my best to do what I could, but their training program (or lack thereof) was really confusing to me, and even after looking online I couldn't find anything other than the basics. For example, I didn't know that we were supposed to have pallets off the floor at 6am, or that we had to have stock marked at a certain time. There's a lot of things I only knew how to do correctly because a coworker would happen to come by and be confused/angry about what I was doing. Any time that would happen I would make sure to learn from it, but it felt like there was still so much to learn, and I was always anxious about being wrong. I tried asking questions, and at first the managers were perfectly fine with that, but after the first few I could tell I was starting to bother them. Anyway, this stuff continued until I was finally fired (although the managers were actually pretty nice about it, and actually let me work that shift since I had gotten a ride to work that day from a coworker). Another issue is, as my dad pointed out, that they may have just hired me for seasonal work, then fired me after (Dec. 28th). A big reason for him thinking that was that they didn't give much of an explanation for why they fired me, they just said "we don't think retail is for you, sorry" and that was pretty much it. I would completely agree with them if I had more experience, but I feel like a month and a half of stocking without proper training wasn't enough for me to reach anywhere near my full potential. I don't know. I'm just worried about this affecting how employers see me. If I'm lucky enough to get an interviewer they usually understand once I explain the situation, but I don't really have a way to let other potential employers know unless they ask to interview me. Sorry about the long post, I'm just so confused. If anyone has any advice, whether specific to my situation or not, I would really appreciate it 💖

TL;DR: I've only had one job, I got fired from it 1.5 months in, supposedly because retail "isn't for me", and I'm worried that it's making it harder to get considered for other jobs. Please give advice if you can, thanks 💖💖
