I can definitely agree about the retail settings being a harsh mistress. My sister works at Walgreens and can make frighteningly accurate estimations of the exact time based on what songs are playing. On the upside, she says that there's a few shitty songs that she's developed an immunity to due to a combination of over exposure and positive association. She's pretty sick of Sheryl Crow under most circumstances, but at least it means they're roughly 10 minutes from closing.

Every once in a while, we get a new secretary that asks if she can bring a stereo in to add a little "life" to the place and everyone chuckles.
Then we cry.

I would kill a man for the right to not have people listen to music around me at work, but I find I'm in the minority there, unfortunately.

I'm still confused as to when rap and hip hop became mainstream as it's always playing when I enter into stores. (Well, it's like dumbed down annoying evil hip hop and rap) I feel sorry for folks that have to work in the places that play that crap.
When I worked at Toys R Us, they played "Little April Showers" in the girls bathroom. I guess it's supposed to make you pee better.

The Billboard Top 5 songs (week of 19Jan08):
Flo Rida Featuring T-Pain - Low
Alicia Keys - No One
Timbaland Featuring OneRepublic - Apologize
Chris Brown Featuring T-Pain - Kiss Kiss
Fergie - Clumsy
I think it is safe to say Rap/Hip Hop is mainstream

The only downside of working the electronics department of Target (as opposed to any other department) is the TV spots that are on a continuous cycle. Really annoying, especially with crap like Collective Soul being plastered all over them. However, when I put in some hours over the holidays to save more money for this semester, they did have an iPod Touch spot with some CSS song over it. I'm not sure whether I'm glad that it saved my sanity during those hours or sorely upset that it has effectively ruined my enjoyment of CSS otherwise.
