Was in a drugstore yesterday looking for some supplies when I happened to notice the music blasting over their stereo ... an exceptionally ghastly version of "Frosty the Snowman".
I mean, hearing holiday music in stores is kind of unavoidable at the moment, but there are lots of arrangements of these songs that are pretty good.
This version of "Frosty" was not.
I set my jaw and tried to ignore it, but as much as I tried to focus on my errand, the hideous song just bored its way into my brain until I couldn't take it anymore. I fled, errand incomplete but sanity intact.
I wonder how many other shoppers are thwarted not by things being out of stock but by appalling music driving them out into the streets with their hands over their ears. Never mind the poor employees who have to listen to that all day, who probably aren't getting hazard pay but should.
The toothpaste purchase can definitely wait a few days!
