While I was in the electronics department we had this looping DVD that played movie trailers, concert videos, and commercials. After the year ended and all of those movies were finally on the shelves Direct TV came in and installed their service. So now the TV's are playing actual television.
The remote is there and the box is hooked up so you can select any channel you wish.
I haven't been back there since the beginning of the New Year, but generally my idea is that you pick a channel that doesn't have anything in the slightest bit entertaining and you leave it so customers can see how clear it is.
The manager who worked back there today had it on Fox News and while I covered her lunch break I had a customer come up to me.
She was a little over weight with peroxide white hair and a shopping cart full of puppy training pads. She carried a little dog with her that was dressed in...The thing I can think of was she took the Santa clothes off of one of the singing Santa statues and put her dog in it, but I digress.
Santa Dog Lady = SDL
NateSean = Me
SDL: Why is hat always on Fox News?
Me: *Thinking it isn't* Um, well sometimes we just leave it on a channel and let it go.
SDL: Well is it stuck there?
Me: Nope. We just put it on so that customers can watch it.
SDL: Well can't you change it?
Me: Sure. I just don't like to fool around with it because we're not really supposed to be watching it.
SDL: *Smugly as she leaves* Well you can just tell your boss that a customer said she doesn't like Fox News.
Me: Okay.
Mind you any customer can walk up and fiddle with the dials. We don't have the box locked away or anything. Secondly, I don't see what difference it makes what channel we leave it on because it's not like we, or more to the point, you, are going to be watching it all day anyway.
