Seriously, the lyrics of that song make me want to punch someone.  "I wish it were Sunday because that's my fun day. My I don't have to run day" how about you shut up with your lazy rhymes. The fact that I know those lyrics is seriously upsetting.  Every day I work, Kroger plays it over and over and then it gets stuck in my head.

I love the Bangles.  Wish they would play WLAE more.

Yeah, that song doesn't sound right when I'm off every Monday and working all weekend.

Courtesy Clerk headed toward my three month hire anniversary.

I have learned to mentally tune the music out. 

I still hear it, I just don't really acknowledge it in my head. I throw myself into my work and run around as much as I can, I pull the plastic bags out from under the registers, I grab go-backs, I'm out in the lot for my hour of Hell, etc. But whenever I am in the store I mentally concentrate on my tasks at hand and at the end of the day I couldn't tell you what was played five minutes ago let alone five hours ago. 

Although admittedly,  it did take me about three weeks to get to that point. It's a lot of mental practice. You basically have to not give a **** about the music and "hear" only the verbal announcements related to the store, such as a call for an employee or the "there's a call for so-and-so department on line wherever." I also had to "learn" to tune out the stupid male announcer reminding the shoppers about a special or a holiday or whatever.

Fun fact: Manic Monday was written by Prince.  I don't get that song at my store, although there are plenty of others that are way overplayed.  Including anything by Supertramp.  I used to love Supertramp...

What I can't figure out is why they play a song about sex (Afternoon Delight).

 It's not about sex.  It's about fireworks.

Kind of like how "Little Red Corvette" is about a car?

 You're a bagger. The bleep-bloop noises made by the registers tune out the ****ty 80s music Kroger plays. Night crew doesn't even have to listen to it! You're so lucky. If you're stocking lunchmeat then that music becomes ingrained into your head like a tumor. Millenia could go by and Kroger would refuse to change their music. One time I heard a new song. It was a commercial for dog food : (

The music can be changed.  There's a sheet where the various genres are chosen by percentage, etc. and faxed off. Management typically does this.  

Be glad you get what you get because there's some truly awful alternatives available.

At my store between 6 AM and 7AM they play all country music.  Then they go back to the regular stuff: Bangles, Phil Collins, Duran Duran, Blondie, Eurythmics, Van Halen etc.

I like when they play Putting on the Ritz. It's so rare though. :(

our music is divided into shifts. From like 6 to 10 is country music/weird ****, from 10 to 2 is 90s, and from 2 onward is 80s crap.

At least it's not walmart where every single time I'm there I hear Rihanna repeating the same line "shine bright like a diamond"...like she really needs to think of some other lyrics.
