for my store its take me home, country roads
Ristrettooo 23 points 9m ago
Country roads has a lot of sentimental meaning for me and I will never forgive Starbucks if they ruin that with their dumb playlist
UsualRefrigerator211 11 points 9m ago
if i have to hear this one more time. i might actually end it all
sloky031 3 points 9m ago
i feel literally cursed. i came to starbs from a video game store and we had to listen to country roads every 15 mins because of the fallout 76 trailer being on there. and we were supposed to have the trailers changed every month but covid happened and we had it playing for TWO YEARS. i quit there for starbucks and it’s just following me 🥲😭

My coworker just recently pointed out how jarring of a song it is for a coffee shop, and now I can’t unhear it
Alefur 1 points 9m ago

amaraynicole 6 points 9m ago
Seriously. When it first came on I was like "oh shit haven't heard this in forever yeah!" And now all I can do is groan when I hear it😭

WAtransplant2021 24 points 9m ago
Lol, in the olden days , I was waitress and we literally had a 12 hour tape that played every day. I knew without looking at my watch that is was 8pm when Hamburgers in Paradise came on.

Big yellow taxi, country roads, and blue bayou. If I ever hear one of those songs one more time, i might pour hot coffee in my ears.

BIG F*CKING YELLOW TAXI
StarletReveuse 8 points 9m ago
Or that one song that’s in a cricket wireless commercial it’s on the Spanish playlist but that song is way to damn long to be repeating the same thing over and over again
Possibility-Select 2 points 9m ago
Fuck that song, we always try and skip that one
giftedburn0ut 6 points 9m ago
I turned the music off in the whole store yesterday when big yellow taxi played for the eighth time during my shift

BIG. YELLOW. TAXI.
lilkiosk 2 points 9m ago
Big yellow taxi (both versions always back to back) on repeat but also country roads - it all makes me sick. And what’s up with that Massachusetts song???
darkwolf523 2 points 9m ago
This is what I hear at my store

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads

Edit:I’ll take the downvotes for this 😂
StickyNoteMurdercat 2 points 9m ago

Big yellow taxi. I didn’t know the song before but it’s now the bane of my existence.
MrMattimo 1 points 8m ago

ventiwhybother1111 1 points 9m ago
when I was a barista we got to play on our music. I loved opening on Sunday’s because I was the first barista on shift and got to play the music. I had a playlist that anyone on our team was allowed to add to. is this not allowed anymore?

So happy to be out of that

Recently my store has been getting Feel Like Makin’ Love by Bad Company. It’s actually weird and I wouldn’t say that song is exactly “work appropriate”.
