Holiday Music

[wagegoth]

This little snippet came in today's News of the Weird:

The UK Noise Association and a British labor union suggested in
December that they might take legal action against the "torture" of
retail clerks by stores' forcing them to listen to continuous holiday
music.

I agree.

I agree.

And PLEASE let them be successful.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a little tune about roasting chestnuts over the fire as much as the next girl, but when you work four seven-four shifts a week, and the "variety" station starts playing carols two weeks before Thanksgiving...that comes out to around 140 hours of CHRISTMAS CAROLS! All TWELVE of them. Seriously, I don't need or want to hear "White Christmas" redone by a country artist, R&B artist, a Christian artist, a rock artist, and on top of that, Aaron Neville's version (.)

The Retail Congress should make a law, stating that seasonal music can be played, at the earliest, two weeks before the actual holiday.

Hey, I can NEVER get enough of hearing "Little Drummer Boy" (except for that one exceptionally sucky version ) and TSO. Other than that, go to it, I say!!!!

Really!

If it drives me up a wall as a sporadic shopper, I cannot imagine how the poor employees deal with having to listen to it contantly.

Don't get me wrong, I like Christmas music just fine. I just don't want to listen to it contantly and unrelentingly. And when all the stores are doing it, you pretty much are forced to listen to it the entire time you are out. It's torture. I don't know why managment can't get a clue.

Because they're in their nice, cozy, soundproofed offices five hundred miles away.

Tell me about it.... after listening to nonstop Christmas music for a whole month, I wanted to strangle Santa!

For the last two Christmas'es my store has stopped playing continuous Christmas carols. They just throw a few in here and there. Plus, there's only a few places in my dept where I can even hear the music so I kind of missed it this year.

I made up for it by playing it while I worked at home though. The music is about the only thing I enjoy about the season anymore...thanks to retail and sucky customers.

I like some Christmas songs; for example, that one by Slade I never get tired of. But I hate carols with a passion, and also certain Christmas songs by a certain Cliff Richard... argh!
