Put it in. It shows you were doing SOMETHING. Also, if you don't say what you were doing the interviewer is likely to assume you have something to hide.
You do-- "I had to work retail!" But that's honorable work, nothing you need to be ashamed of. If you don't fill in the blank in your history the interviewer is going to fill it in for you, and odds are whatever they imagine would be something outright BAD. Don't give them the opportunity.
