I know that some songs that the store plays get some flack. The most notable example being Mariah Carey's "All I want for Christmas is you". I kinda get the reasoning though honestly I don't mind it in contrast to other people. But let's see what the opposite would be. For me, that song would be "Move Along" by The All American Rejects. Whenever the intercom plays it, I feel at ease and a little joy. Maybe because it's a nostalgic song for me. It came out when I was 3. The lyrics and messaging themselves also help in contrast to my work situation. I mean, retail is soul draining. Even when as often as it plays, it never comes across as annoying in contrast to Mariah's song for some people. What is your song that you like playing at the store? What is your version of my "Move Along"?

This happened yesterday and I'm still appalled.

I was helping a customer locate an item when one of my coworkers had me stand over a spill which was no biggie except for the fact that said spill was actually a vomit trail that stretched across an entire aisle and even in an abandoned cart and it was only discovered because another customer had the misfortune of slipping on it which notified us. So quite literally, someone gave up their lunch and just left it like that. The smell didn't exactly help the situation and varied depending on who smelled it. To me, it was like a mixture of popcorn and peanut butter. To my coworker, it was Doritos. To my boss, it was one whiff away from that ipecac scene from Family Guy. Any way you slice it, it was bad and me and my coworker had to remain there so no more people have an accident while our janitor comes to address the situation. I helped him clean the floor by sprinkling the absorbent powder spraying down the cart with Clorox, though we had to take the cart out of use since there was a significant amount and some of it was in hard-to-reach places. That cart needed to be power washed or hosed down. I'm just glad I was provided gloves. After all of that, even talking about the situation puts people's lunches at risk of eviction as evidence by a team lead complaining about me laying out the details to another coworker.

tldr: someone had an eviction of probably Jif, Doritos or Orville, and the rest of us have to deal with it.
