Stanza

Merry Lore plays this carousel via satellite for uniformity across stores which unfortunately includes some really depressing songs at times.

"It's a conspiracy to inspire the employees to commit mass suicide," i've told Kato.

I would love to have that job: picking music for Merry Lore. My selection would rock!!!

Alas we are stuck with some mediocre tunes most of the time. And as i have mentioned before, the collection is eccentric. That's euphemism for "makes no sense". Nothing goes with anything. It's totally random. I often go, "Huh?" Like one minute it's "Maneater" by Hall & Oates and the next it's "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus. Serious?!

To make matters worse, the music is interspersed with adverisement. An abrupt pause mid-song, then a brief sentence or two here and there. It drives me nuts!!! I can't believe it doesn't bother our customers. If i were a shopper i'd probably be like WTF?

The advertisement repeats so much, it's subconsciously ingrained in my head. One example:

Merry Lore means expertise!

The other day, early in the morning, i was still settling in. And this i heard:

Merry Lore means extra cheese!

And for a moment i wasn't sure what to make of it.

Yeah, it's time to leave.
