To the lady today who “vented” her opinion at me while entering the well established grocery chain that I work at, you spotted me and felt the need to tell me how annoying the music here was. I should have said to you: “M’am, would you like me to ask the fine gentlemen if they would stop? Why wouldn’t I do that? Who fucking cares about the other 2 hundred people who might be finding it ‘nice’. You, M’am, are the only person who matters in this world! We all should bow and grovel to your greatness! Here’s one for ya! Get happy and get happy fast. Stop spreading your disease of anger and hatred on to any and every person you feel the need to. Geez!” —Disgruntled Employee

Fucking grocery stores.
Tell her that fuckin MP3 players are 10 bucks, pull out a 10-spot and tell her to lick your nuts. Win/Win
Grocery stores play music? Hmm… I know they have annoying people coming over the speakers about their specials, but who really listens to that shit?
If this is related to the grand re-opening of the SS in Bayers Lake then I can sympathise with the woman. I was shopping on Saturday and they had 2 young’uns giving it their best, playing traditional Cape Breton fiddle music from the balcony.
I realise it’s regional and supposedly in our heritage, but it’s also shite. It’s the same fucking song played fast or slow.
The English were right when it came to clearing the highlands, you got more for your money out of a sheep than a drunken Jockanese.
Baz, I take it you’ve read G.M. Fraser’s astute analysis of the differences between serving in India vs. Scotland in “Flashman”. I’d repeat it here but it has some decidedly un-PC but historically accurate socio-economic terms in it and I’d have not one but two ethnic groups fond of edged weapons gunning for me. >; )
un-pc? not presidents choice! 😀
(pointing out pointless puns in peoples threads since 2011)
And that’s why we loves ya Anglo. Rawk!
canned or elevator music is a fact of life. most places have blaring fucking noise, that makes me leave, as soon as i go in there. if the stuff is coming out, and not ripping into your brain, you are lucky. most high end stores, whether they be grocery, department, or even your local pick and save, have some type of shit being played. fuck, even some pizza places have a bunch of shit going. these are the places i stay away from.
soothing muzac, yeah, i said muzac, for that is what it’s called, is played to ease your day. and make you feel all warm and fuzzy.
if you don’t like it, maybe the rest of the shoppers do? and if not, the place would not have it going.
Must of been an NDPer.
