Except that throughout the series, Mr. Drucker still runs the general store, and his main job doesn't change.

Wouldn't New Job as the Plot Demands cover someone who changes jobs each episode with little steady employment, e.g. someone working at a fast food restaurant, convenience store, salesperson, retail clerk, janitor, garbage collector, etc.?

New Jobs As The Plot Demands is mainly a comedy trope where the unlikeliness of switching jobs — lawyer one episode, waiter the next, train conductor after that, etc — is the joke unto itself. That sounds like what you want.
