What's with the music?

Date: May 18, 2010

I agree that its a little strange. Ive heard the same music. The addams family? really? lol

Date: May 18, 2010

lol yeah it happened at my store too. It seems like the same thing gets repeated every 5 minutes as well

Date: May 18, 2010

it is here in the Terre Haute Indiana zone too. Seems like they play it between 4 and 7 pm. Pure torture. Although the star trek theme is kinda cool. da da da da da da da da BATMAN LOL.

They're playing at the store I work at(KY). I think they just want to drive all the employees insane.

same music in Dallas also. But I do remember , in the early 90`s , that they once just had a local station on the air and herd a commercail for Tom Thumb stores.

Well, while the Addams family theme song may be strange to listen to working at Kroger, I would just like to say that nothing is worse than Beyonce's "Single Ladies". That song just drives me up the wall alone, but really? On Kroger's radio? Come on.

I agree, that and I don't think Beyonce can sing.

But there is also a lot of John Mayer. I think they play at least 5 or 6 of his songs. Which is NOT a bad thing in my book. Very relaxing, even at Kroger.

Some moron decided themed music from 4-8 on the airwaves will generate more chicken sales. Think Addams Family-chicken - Yea - me too ! Makes me want to run to the Deli and buy a Chicken ! Don't chuckle-these dopes in G.O. gave a round of applause at this brilliance of thought by the person!
Promoted up the ranks for the sheer genius. Is that why the stock market is up and all our competitors stocks just climbed and we lost $3.00 in the last two days? Maybe investors have finally figured out what we in the stores already know- these buffoons just don't get it!

I haven't heard any songs from tv shows that I can remember, but I do recall one time hearing "When I think About You, I Touch Myself."

I was like, "Whaaaat?"

Date: Jun 11, 2010

heard "single ladies" was hoping customers would break out in a unison rendetion... didnt happen... gotta fry another batch of 8pc!

Middle Tennessee, happened every day after 4PM. Now that I'm in the fuel center I never hear it anymore, but I'm sure it still happens.

Date: Jul 13, 2010

We were all laughing about this one day. I think the order was something like:

"Green Acres"
"Spiderman"
"Chicken Dance"
"Live Like We're Dying" by Kris Allen
"Live Like We're Dying" by Kris Allen (yes, they played it two times in a row)
"Addams Family"
"Batman"
"Over My Head" by The Fray

confuse

I'm not exaggerating. Thank God it only lasted a few days.

They took it away!!!!! I want it back, dangit. Now we're stuck listening to crappy early 90's pop music again.

hate to bump an old thread, but we had the same music too, it didn't last long though. maybe a week. It's been gone for at least a month or more now...i enjoyed hearing some new pop instead of our old stuff everyday.
