Again, if I hear Christmas music in October, it convinces me to leave the store, probably forever. It has the opposite effect of what corporate and STU-MEISTER think it does.
I’ll never understand why music is played in stores. I have no interest in listening to music I’m not in the mood for even if they play a song I actually like. The silence would be preferred. My last job at a gas station got super obnoxious at one point about the volume level too and it got turned up loud enough that I could barely hear what the customers were saying. It took all of a few days for that to change when customers were complaining.
One thing I was eternally grateful for at HomeGoods: /they mixed regular music in with the Christmas music./ it added enough variety that I wasn’t sick to death of all the radio-friendly secular Christmas carols by the end of my shift.
no, after the last time he did this I am absolutely certain he’s doing it because it’s what Jerry did while Marla was the AM. Stuart’s not smart enough to have thoughts of his own. Jerry was a chauvinistic pig and treated Marla like absolute garbage, and Stuart emulated that because Jerry was the District Manager. Thus, Crystal is being called Cheryl because she’s the new female AM
See this is how I can tell Grumbel’s was outdated. Where I work, the music isn’t on discs but is transmitted from elsewhere to a server at our store that plays it. So we can’t stop it from playing Christmas music literally three minutes into November 1.
I never even listen to the songs in a store, I tune them out unless one I like plays but then it’s constantly interrupted by announcements. “Attention Grumbel’s shoppers! We have such and such on sale!” Or messages to workers or whatever. “Cheryl please report to the such and such area.” It would be better to have no music at all so they can make their announcements.

I don’t even want to hear it in December. I go to a shop to buy stuff, not to listen to the same list of songs over and over.

Mostly to kill dead air/for the workers who have to be their for hours.

And he still calls her “Cheryl”. At least he’s not like Jerry, who called Marla “Darla” on purpose.

The store I work at it is by satellite. Always goes out when it rains hard.
