kipper Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I heard this song today while in the supermarket produce department looking for peaches. Made me smile.... I even started humming along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Recently I heard Rockaway Beach by the Ramones in the supermarket. If you had told me in 1977 that I would ever hear Rockaway Beach in the supermarket I never would have believed it. What a great song.

JTM Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) Music disappeared from supermarkets here years ago. They have recently brought it back in some places, with covid info announcements inbetween songs. I'd rather they just had the announcements because the music (all current hits) is absolute garbage in my opinion, and me being a grumpy git it just adds to my grumpiness.

I agree with the current music they have in many stores, but a few sill have great playlist and seem to understand that the people spending the MOST money are people from our generation. I stopped shopping at one store I used to like after they add a bunch current crap music songs, and also started making half of the announcements over the PA in Spanish. I guess nobody can please everyone, but if I'm shopping and annoyed, or my blood pressure goes up, the I can't even be in the store to spend my money. I think some marketing people make a mistake of targeting music, or ads to larger young demographic, when they should be targeting to the age group which has and spends the most money. Which would still be our generation. When the market is playing some assclown vocal assisted crap aimed at the 12 year old coming into buy a bag of chips (crisps) and single sodapop, as apposed to the housewife there to fill a basket (trolly) full of hundreds of dollars of groceries and sundries, then they are just being short sighted.

I went to buy myself a new pair of Reebok Classics today while out shopping, the store I visited were playing really loud rap style music I decided that as I wanted the shoes more more than I needed them I left.

I have gone so far as to request they turn music off our down in some situations. Was at a big club store (Costco) and they had a display by the registers of one of those bluetooth amplifiers that can play music from any of your devices. The music I could tell was not what the store/chain had likely decided to play, but more likely what some of the employees wanted to hear, again rap music it was pretty over the top----and it was REALLY LOUD and right in my ears. So, I requested it be turned off and I was ignored. So, then I just went over and turned it OFF, and a young employee came over and turned it on again, plus make it louder. I in turn then unplugged it and said DON'T TURN IT ON AGAIN, it is too loud, it is unpleasant, and not what any customer wants to hear. I was serious, and eventually a manager came over, but I warned him, I will complain to the corporate office on this if he turns it on again. Like I said previously, elevator music would be fine with me as a happy medium. I like classic pop/rock and R&B while shopping, but I don't need to hear that if the playlist included crap too.

That is a very un-woke comment there Kip Those lousey scallywags'!!! The announcements in Spanish I simply do not understand the necessity. If I go to Mexico I would not expect anything to be in English because, its Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of college kids thought I was losing it as they had no clue who Jane's Addiction was much less the song. Ps. I got out with a free sushi roll, a 12 pack of seltzer water, and a package of macadamia nuts! Make me go through the self-serve check out you rat-bastards, well, here is some petty theft for ya!
