Thia give me PTSD flashback. My first job out of high school was bic camera. Those melodies are fun at station because they only play it when train is coming, but full blasting it 24/7 (including rest room) makes your brain go numb.

I go in to a trance state of corporate drone mode with a 営業スマイル(sales smile) and bendy-hip when I hear that tune



I can imagine. I have the Yodobashi Camera jingle permenantly seared into my brain, and I am only a customer!

When I worked at a gym, they played the same 10 or so songs all day every day. My heartrate rises when I hear them.


In my mind, Yamada Denki is the absolute worst. I bought a washing machine there in 2004 and, almost entirely due to the song, have been back maybe once since then. I remember at the time telling my wife I couldn't imagine what working there would do to a person.
