Replying to “I see your experience is very limited”

Can I bounce back from this? My experience is in fact very limited, I stayed in the same place for 7 years. Prior to that I worked in a restaurant for about a year before it closed down. I’m trying to go for office setting jobs but it seems impossible since my experience is 7 years of retail. Sometimes I feel like lying and adding places I didn’t even worked in, that’s how desperate I’m getting.
