I'm so sorry that tomorrow is the day they switch to Christmas music. When I worked retail it was my job to change the holiday mix before we closed on Halloween.

I was at the mall yesterday and next to one of the entrances there was a live chorus singing Christmas carols. I thought that was a rather perverse thing to be doing on October 30th.

The christmas music was more tolerable last year, since they switched away from shortish seasonal playlists to a radio-like format. It's still bad but at least there's more variety and not the same billion versions of silver bells as many times a day. gently caress silver bells. Hopefully it's the same this year.

Hes actually got a hell of a voice which is a nice change from most peoples screeching attempts. Theres only 1 song during christmas that i hate. Dont know the singer but she forces 3 or 4 full length songs into the timeframe of 1 normal song (3 minutes? ) and i want to punch every speaker when its on. When she gets to jingle bells, shes singing as absolutely fast as she can.

Beastie posted:Bad Christmas Songs: Counter point: I heard a summary of it before I heard the song itself, and as it dawned on me what song I was hearing the first time I heard it, it made me laugh out loud. It's so bad and forcefully corny that I almost can't hate it. Doesn't mean I'll listen to it on purpose, but the once a year I end up hearing it ends up being not so bad. The other 3 are basically correct, but I can stand the Hippopotamus song a couple of times before wanting to smash something.

Mine sounds off key and lovely so it is like having a rusty cheese grater dragged across your ear-taint. He is the most annoying manchild in the world. There are some pretty good orchestral music songs that are well put together and don't really intrude too much if you don't focus on them. That's nice. Too bad 80% of our songs are trash tier Christmas songs with some past-their-prime singer warbling that poo poo out like the national anthem at the Super Bowl I would rather listen to rabid dogs barking out Jingle Bells for the next two months than hear someone singing All I Want For Christmas as hard as they loving can.

You say that when Christmas Shoes exists? That song is the worst Christmas song to ever exist. Back when I worked in a grocery store, we had Christmas by The Who on our playlist, at least one year. That was pretty great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPmijD6jqHs&hd=1

Last year we were still blaring Christmas in the Sun, by Rolf Harris, convicted sex offender. Also the song is garbage trash like almost all Christmas music.

Father Christmas by The Kinks is on our yearly Christmas playlist but that's about the only upside. Luckily our store doesn't start Christmas music until after Thanksgiving because the owner actually works in our store and also hates it. e: Oh yeah also for everybody that bitches about Christmas going up so soon we also get people bitching that we don't have our artificial tree displays up halfway through October so everybody can just go gently caress themselves.

Tunicate posted:No monster mash? A few years ago monster mash was on our regular daily rotation year round. I actually like christmas carols at work for the most part, although I prefer more traditional carols. (I'm quite partial to Sir Christopher Lee's Heavy metal version of The Little Drummer Boy though.) The only one that genuinely annoys me is Feliz Navidad. Luckily I don't hear it much anymore but a few years ago it must have been in vogue because I swear they played the loving thing every 20 mins.

He says "gently caress" loudly and angrily several times, each louder and angrier than the last. I think somebody would notice by the end.

He started out in 2005, initially collaborating with Rhapsody of Fire; but in the years following he released several Heavy Metal christmas EPs and 2 full length heavy metal Albums; Charlemagne: By the Sword and the Cross in 2010 and Charlemagne: The Omens of Death in 2013. This is one of the music videos from the albums https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvKRbi2ovDY I highly recommend people watch it. The Lord Bude fucked around with this message at 16:12 on Nov 1, 2017 |

Yo so it's not that loving hard to count things right Like if you are looking at a pack of cigarettes and one of the same type but with $.50 off on the packaging, it is natural to count these as different items, right? Right?

I wouldn't necessarily assume a different UPC, no.

Yeah, if there's just a coupon on it, I wouldn't necessarily assume it's a different UPC. But the cigarette deals we used to get at my old place would come with sleeves with new barcodes on them that would cover about half of the packaging, including the original barcode.

Hm. That's actually really helpful. It causes problems with an automated inventory system. Then again, I suppose it wouldn't be obvious if you weren't involved in all of the item level including UPC tracking, etc. I'm learning! We are going to be writing a new procedure for this whole thing when the software and equipment changes so we can include that sort of thing.
