I hope you never have to work retail, they often have the same approved songs on repeat all day.
I worked at a gym, and to this day, there are songs I don't even like that pop up in my head. 3 years of hearing them every day just about drove me spare.
- dls2016 4y agoMy dad still whines about Peter Frampton due to his time on a submarine in the late 70s. Could only take so much vinyl out to sea and I guess shanties were out of fashion haha. I personally tend to listen to full albums repetitively. Lately it has been Billy Cobham’s Spectrum and some Khruangbin albums. I also play drums and tend to study the same handful of songs for a few months at a time. Ok maybe I’ve been meditating on Stevie Wonder’s Superstition for over a year haha.

- theposey 4y agoWorking in retail or restaurants during Christmas season is absolute torture. There's not a single Christmas song I enjoy anymore.
- ssully 4y agoYup, it sucks. For me it isn't even so much the song as it is how it transports me back to that job. Like, I hear the song and can picture myself doing certain tasks in the retail store I worked at while listening to it.
