Christmas time at Safeway. The Muzak system seemed to only have one “tape” of Xmas music which was on permanent loop through most of December. You knew not only that “White Christmas” came after “I’ll be Home for Christmas” which was currently playing but “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” was after White Christmas. Late in an 8 hr shift of bagging groceries if you heard that song one more time you were going to toss yourself down the compactor (we had one too!). It might be -20 out in the frozen tundra of the Southland Mall parking lot, but collecting carts throughout the parking lot and pushing them back to the store through the snow was preferable to hearing that, and other songs again. (in the olden days you didn’t have to pay to get carts so they were just free range and left all over the lot.)
