Morrisons Music

I worked at Safeway for 2 years, and for 6 weeks last Christmas at my (shoddy and tacky) newly converted Morrisons store.

I rather like the apt song that features the repeated line in the chorus, "this boat is sinking...." which rather sums up the fortunes of the company!

Other than that, they play(ed...) some god Elton John and the occasional Spandau Ballet song, if I remember rightly.

I worked at Morrsons for over a year, and the adverts bloody annpoed me. Amusingly they were played when the store was shut!

Some of the music was really deprerssing though, and they started playing Christmas songs in October!

yo does anyone in the this forum work (or shop frequently) at morrisons, if so which department and your favourite song they play out of their awesome playlist of poor and politically correct music amongst the gay adverts they also play.

counting crows - big yellow taxi should be in the top 10, simply red - stars, and spice girls

I worked in Ambient/Grocery for a couple of months as my local store changed from Safeway to Morrisons.
Some songs annoyed me, but tbh, while I was dressing aisles of crisps, anything helps to relieve the boredom!

anyones store obsessed with 'facing up' and shelf presentation, mines a joke

Yep - my local store would have me and everyone else in my department ignoring new stock that had come in. When the store closed, we would have to face up the shelves for an hour... And then the night crew would come in and push them all back again and actually stock the shelves - which we could have spent more worthwhile time doing surely?

.. Sorry, I have a lot of rants about working at Morrisons!

I used to work for Morrisons, they gheyest experience ever. Avoid it if you can. Run like the plague when handed an application. Don't even shop there because they promote cruelty to humans. Go on a strike against Morrisons.

"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen and welcome. Whilst shopping in our store this morning/afternoon/evening, why not go along to our hot rotisserie counter where you can purchase fresh cooked medium chickens, £2.99 each or two for the amazing price of £5. That's £2.99 each or two for just £5. More reasons to shop at Morrisons."

I had to say that every quarter of an hour over the tannoy. For a week straight. This was over a year go now, and the exact words are STILL stuck in my brain!

But you could have fun by trying to see how sarcastic you could be before people noticed. Thus we had an "amazing offer", "Fantastic offer", "Stupendous offer", "not-to-be-missed offer", and as many other variations on the theme as I could think of. Well, it passed the time...
