Hopefully you're young enough that you didn't have to deal with the christmas cd on repeat

Young enough? You realise that's still what they play in stores where people work retail?

Well they don't have CDs anymore, so how would they repeat the music?

Good grief, did this really need a /s?

There's like 10 Christmas songs. All of them have hundreds of different versions. Doesn't matter if your not hearing the exact same song. Your hearing the same songs on repeat. My last retail job the muzak box was accessible to everyone in the office so as soon as I would get there I would change the channel.

The radio does the exact same thing.

I worked in a video arcade in the 90s and we had a 1-hour VHS tape on repeat showing on TVs all over the arcade featuring recent music videos, cartoons, etc. That Christmas, 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' came out and it was on that tape. I heard that song every day of December, 8 times a day, 40 times a week, 160 times that month in total.

I hate that song so much more than everyone else does.
