    This kind of repeating music in places of business should be illegal. It’s absolute torture for employees and nobody seems to give a shit about it. There are still songs from my time working at Ruby Tuesday that are burned into my brain and send me into a rage to this day.

      Crazy thing is that in my experience it wasn’t even a dry ass playlist. They played one radio station that literally played the same 10 fucking songs day in and out

        Welcome to the hellscape of iHeartRadio owning 90% of stations, assuming it was a standard station and not a carefully constructed by psychopaths to maximize spending and minimize offence thing.

          Yep. No more of the public deciding if an artist should be a one hit wonder, they’ll shove it down your fucking throat until they’re not and “mainstream.” It’s borderline brain washing for those who want to listen to FM radio. Fucking Audacy, Clear Media and iHeart

          They decide who’s artist career lives and dies.

      I work in a relatively retail environment that I am in control of. Daily some shitty customer makes the stupid observation “It sure is quiet in here.” To which I always have to respond “If they made me play music I’d kill myself” or some such non-sense to drive home just how much retail radio makes me want to end all of existence after 10 years, and they still don’t realize that retail radio tempo is chosen specifically to affect purchasing habits of customers.

      I have ADHD and the sensory overload of dealing with shitty customers and shitty music makes me want to burn entire cities to the ground.
