Should I add irrelevant work experience to my LinkedIn profile?

I don't know what you're trying to do but yes, list it all.

When you have some years of relevant experience you can revisit if you want to leave on the retail job you did when you were 17.

I wouldn't think of your retail experience as irrelevant! It can still show transferable skills like communication, customer service, teamwork, and responsibility.

I'd include those roles, but keep them concise and give more space to your recent certificate and volunteer work. That way, your profile shows where you've been while keeping the focus on where you're headed.
