So I got laid off from my desk job in June and being the dumb pothead I was, I planned on collecting unemployment instead of looking for a new job, but I never got around to doing either. In a panic, I applied to a big box store and now I'm working minimum wage bringing furniture out to customers and doing random "maintenance" chores.
I don't mind working retail that much. The thing I find offensive is the ambiance. Those fucking obnoxious fluorescent lights that burn my retinas and probably double as a theft deterrent, and what's worse I'm the one that's having to replace those disgusting lights. But really that's not so bad.
What IS bad is the fucking "music". Sting. Steely Dan. Whitney Houston. Phil Collins. "Bring Me a Higher Love". "That's What Friends Are For" - THAT FUCKING HARMONICA. I want to find the box that's producing that awful sound and tear it up with a shard of broken fluorescent tube.
I was just wondering how you guys deal with having this garbage hammered into your ears. Ultimately I ought to just find a new job away from this trash but seeing as I've only been there a couple weeks I should probably stick it out for a little longer. I would rather wear a dildo on a chain around my neck every day and have the music turned off. I'd rather the speakers played the sounds of an animal fucking all day, every day. | |

OMG 3 months of Xmas music?>!?!?! DIE!
My local drugstore set up two of those motion-activated dancing santas by the cashier, so that every customer triggered them... but not quite simultaneously.
Thus, the poor cashiers had to listen to 8 hours of Jingle-Bell-Rock run through a bit-reducer AND a phaser plugin. SHUDDER

Jingle bell rock is a personal pet hate. The only way I get by when I hear it is by imagining I'm the kind of person who would like it. That, and "i'm in the mood for dancin' (romancin')".
bunch of dicks though, who thinks that shit up? A cacophony of dancing santas. wOAh - Great idea. Let's go dancing santa shopping...
