Christmas music

I wish they'd just play no music. Don't need sub-mediocre soft rock lyrics cluttering my brain whilst I defuse my customers.

Yesterday was Holiday Open House, that's why

I haven't heard any holiday music yet. I wouldn't mind though, the other stuff (or at least a good chunk of it) is awful.

I never minded it either, since it was a break from the usual crap like this. But what always made me giggle was when they'd play the hispanic versions and the locals would get their jimmies all rustled over it. If I had a dollar for every time racist old hill billy would go off about it, I'd ever have to work again.

We had christmas music coming from the big tree in floral. And from the smaller tree by the other entrance. And from the radio. Three different christmas songs playing at once, all day. HELL.

we get horrible country covers and i'm already dreading "tender tennessee christmas"

at least I've never heard "the christmas shoes"!

(and yeah the racists came out when they played Spanish language music this summer - I loved it for the change)

Christmas Shoes is designed specifically to be a tear jerker of a song. Hmmmm... I wonder of this year we get to hear 50 "different" renditions of the SAME song (jingle bells), last year it was Frosty The Snowman

I'm filled with dread every time I walk into the store. Well, more than usual, anyways.

A few years back, the Christmas music started Halloween night. Halloween ****ing night.

So we're long overdue.

Churn is so high at my store I don't know if anyone here actually knows how to change the music. I hope not.

Some days the music doesn't suck - we'll get more 90s-00s pop (and not bad covers) and less country, at least for a decent stretch.

Also - this has happened 2 Wednesdays this fall (and it did happen, because other employees noticed, I'm not crazy) - no country music the entire day, just 50s and 60s oldies. Not the big name stuff, but exclusively oldies. Usually, the oldies we get are the bad "adult contemporary" types. But this is different! And no country!
