Late last night I strolled into the grocery store to pick up a few items (thank God for 24 hour grocers).
As I walked in I was greeted by ‘Starship’ as they belted out…
“…STANDIN’ STRONG TOGETHER,
NOTHIN’S GONNA STOP US NOW!”
The volume was unusually high; I started laughing out loud at how ridiculous it was.
Why do grocery stores always blare these songs?
It’s like an infomercial for “The World’s Most Loved Inspirational Tunes”.
Act now and you’ll also receive 12 issues of Good Housekeeping absolutely free!
Who was it that said if we play this type of music people will feel more powerful and will be more apt to stay longer and shop. Yes, that’s it we’ll create a feel good atmosphere bookended by Celine Dion. We, the grocers of America, will change the world one store at a time.
I was so moved by ‘Starship’ that I ran all the way home fist-pumping in the night sky.
When I arrived at my front door I realized I had left my car in the parking lot of the grocery store.
