Can an English degree serve as a base for a stable career? Or do I have my head in the clouds?
yes.
I'm unaware of any better starting qualification for work in any retail job nor any better point of entry into the fastfood industry.

Yeah of course, you just need to be realistic with your salary expectations and be flexible enough to take a job outside your home town.
It's not unheard of for English majors to go to law school, either.
You could probably get into management
Only if English isn't your native language and if you're really good at it. Also I hope you are not afraid of working in education

And why would that be only if you are not native?
Networking and smart choices after graduation are more relevant to success than which degree you chose in my opinion.
