Nothing makes you wish you'd applied for that edgy independent clothes shop at the bottom of the street than your store's playlist. These consist of the biggest pop hits from two years ago, which whoever's in charge will think are totally in vogue now. "Call Me Maybe" is absolutely rife these days, to give just one example. Good luck if you're a fan of anything other than radio-friendly bubblegum pop too, because pounding dubstep doesn't really lend itself well to choosing a nice jumper for grandad's birthday.
1. Christmas
Winter is coming. You'll be yearning for those naive days when there was space to walk on the shop floor without being sucked into one of the neverending queues snaking around the entire store. Forget about customers actually taking items to the till in that department; they'll just ram it all together and take it to the nearest checkout once they're done (and it'll inevitably be your till). Early starts, late finishes, and constant, CONSTANT Christmas songs over the tannoy. Happy holidays everyone!
