Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The only problem I have with old songs, I work retail. The Muzak system (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzak) repeats the same songs multiple times a day.
Dude. I worked retail back in the aughts, and when I go in stores today, I still hear many of the same songs from back then
I thought Imagine Dragons was a band I'd never heard until I checked out some of their songs and realized I've actually heard them a million times ... always in grocery stores shopping at night.
There are different channels. The stores you're going into are playing that music by choice, often to cater to specific demographics. You wouldn't expect, say, a skateboard shop to play classical, just as you wouldn't expect a greeting card store to play death metal. I remember when the hardware store I worked in switched from instrumental to music with lyrics.
I would happily shop at a greeting card store that played death metal — and I don't even like death metal.
I'm mostly referring to clothes stores
Ugh, I've always hated the lyric free versions of songs that played in the JC Penny (?) clothing section my mother used to drag me to.
‘Attention K-Mart Shoppers’
Huh, that's a really interesting collection. Thanks for the link!
lol
At least when I worked retail it was at chocolate world, so just candy related songs (or Xmas), and then macys, so poppier than I’d normally listen to (and again, Xmas)
