Why does it feel like there only like 10 songs on the playlist!?!

There’s only 34 when all the other playlists have like 100+ 😩

WHY WONT IT STOP?!
KeyCranberry [OP] 24 points 2y ago
Okay I have a new theory: they're trying to break our wills with this one so that when the holiday playlist comes around we'll be too tired to complain about hearing Run Run Rudolph 3 times an hour
MoreCoffeeWillHelp 3 points 2y ago
I have a theory that they released this disney playlist in response to Mulan being released, which is what annoys me the most tbh.

The worst part is every time you switch the playlist the Disney one will ALWAYS come back. During my 8hr shift yesterday, we switched off of it like 4 or 5 times trying to get away from it. It came back every time. This has been happening for days. Its the cursed playlist.
KeyCranberry [OP] 10 points 2y ago
Yeah it's like the holiday playlist in that way, the system REALLY wants to be playing it
SkylerSayys 7 points 2y ago
Its the WORST. I dont like the playlist at all, but honestly if it had more songs I'd be more inclined to not be mad about it

I THOUGHT MY PARTNERS WERE JUST FUCKING WITH ME. it literally kept going right back to that playlist.
SkylerSayys 11 points 2y ago
I thought that at first. But then it kept happening. On multiple shifts. With many different partners. And everyone complaining that it kept going back. Then I realized there's no way someone was doing this. It was the iPod itself. It was the ipod fucking with us. The siren knew we changed it, and she grew angry and made it go back. She wanted to punish us for trying to change it. The siren is fucking with us. Thats the cold hard truth.

But random Internet stranger, it means no worries.
But as a hard-core Disney fan it’s gotten to me as well

When that playlist is on I feel like there’s 525,600 minutes left on my shift

tell me about it bud. i open today and tomorrow bc a gal quit with no notice :( the music is haunting me lol. at least it’s so busy and lowkey understaffed the day goes by in a stressful blur.

We’ve just turned the music off all together. Sometimes we’ll play music on our bluetooth speaker. But I work at night so we have way less people that actually come into the cafe at night.

Under the sea is awful no matter the time but especially open.
submitizenkane 3 points 2y ago
That song came on when I was slop mopping the lobby after close and honestly it was perfect for the occasion
NOTcreative- 3 points 2y ago
Okay maybe that time is an exception lol
cs_phoenix 6 points 2y ago

Holy, a customer speaking; everytime I got to Starbucks I see nothing but delighted baristas;but when I look on here I see a total different side. Sorry
KeyCranberry [OP] 7 points 2y ago
I'm sorry to shatter the illusion but on the inside all of us are screaming all the time :(
CaddyShack_Cack 2 points 2y ago
That's sucky. I never would've thought that
KeyCranberry [OP] 3 points 2y ago
That means we're doing our jobs right.
CaddyShack_Cack 1 points 2y ago
It's crazy how a job can tear you down like that. It's sad
4filth 2 points 2y ago
I mean being “delighted” to see customers is our job ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ _This_ is our place to kick off our shoes and be actual human beings
CaddyShack_Cack 1 points 2y ago
Yeah I get you vent it out lol
darkwolf523 4 points 2y ago
That’s how I feel about the frozen 1 and 2 songs
cglashan4 3 points 2y ago
ok but our store music app literally DISAPPEARED from our ipod and we can’t change it... help....
unsatisfied_plant 3 points 2y ago
I feel the same way. We’ve resulted to playing our own music because we cannot deal with it anymore.
Jeffuk88 3 points 2y ago
I WISH we could listen to Disney, but being a mall location we're stuck with their elevator music
eat-reddit-tv 3 points 2y ago
It’s very disappointing. Lots of covers and SO MUCH DIALOGUE
KittenCatAttack 3 points 2y ago
I can't take it
ItsMamaB 1 points 2y ago
Not going to lie... We have a Bluetooth speaker set up and we just play our Spotify playlists lol...
mxrgxsm 1 points 2y ago
That's me, but with Ya Got Trouble from the Music Man, or just the Disney playlist in general.
We have a general ban on the playlist now at our location.
Thank freaking god

For some reason it still manages to play when we are closing though. Makes me feel like I'm in a fever dream.

Just be thankful Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious didn’t make the cut
philosopher_cat_lady 1 points 2y ago
We turn down the music all the time and blast our own with a portable speaker. We just kept doing it even after we opened the lobby.

What
eat-reddit-tv 3 points 2y ago
There’s a new playlist featuring Disney songs. It’s a really short playlist with a poor song selection.
OP is saying that they do not want to hear a song from the Lion King, because the lyrics are repetitive and about “having no worries”.
If you’re setting up a store to open at 4am you have lots of worries and are probably wishing you were still in bed.
