Jagged Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 I am thinking of starting a society for the prevention of cruelty to shop staff. I was in Tescos at the weekend and they turned on the *kin Christmas music. They started with Maria Carey and immediately followed up with Wizzard Me and the Misses braced ourselves against the psychological attack and crawled our way to the checkout. We paid as quickly as we could (blood seeping for our ears) but on speaking to the guy at the till it became apparent that they were only playing 4 tracks! 4 tracks on a continuous loop for 8 hours. What kind of cruel and heartless bastards would be willing to subject other human beings to that? Pure unadulterated evil. Please join us in the fight against this crime against humanity.

Over a decade ago, I worked for Circuit City. At one point, they licensed the song, "Just What I Needed" by the Cars for use in their advertising. Corporate sent out a special CD single with the song on it for the managers to play to "celebrate" acquiring this song. The store manager decided to put it into the 5 disc changer that we used for Christmas music as the only disc and set it for continuous play as the only song. About a day and a half later, while the store manager was at lunch out of the building, the disc suffered a mysterious accident. Somehow, the disc left the cd player, phased through a locked door, and ended up in the break room's microwave. It died in a pretty blue discharge of ionized aluminum, and then, the disc ended up shattered in the warehouse. A very loud cheer went up from the staff (and probably a few customers, as well) when the song finally stopped playing over the intercom. (I can neither confirm nor deny having any part in the proceedings). Jagged and Cancer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted December 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 So you're saying it is like the Kennedy assassination? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoloOfEarth Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Wasn't the second gunman on the grassy knoll... JFK himself, from an alternate timeline? I seem to remember that from Red Dwarf. ("It'll drive the conspiracy theorists nuts!") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Liaden Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Thank you, Hermit. I couldn't have said it better myself. Maybe we should start a seasonal support group. Hermit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted December 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Yeah, don't get me wrong, I actually like being single (my loner/intorvertedness makes it suitable for me, or I'd at least need a very understanding wife). But, yeah, society does put the pressure on, whereas I otherwise wouldn't give it that much thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
