I mean, if that’s the best song, the others must have been pretty forgettable.

This has been applicable to 99% of the entries in this HoF thread. That’s the point — music at grocery stores is notoriously mid.

Earth Wind and Fire is a great band. Not everything has to be hobo level.

Haha. I like that one - "hobo level". Good one Space!

Ok more like a convenience store but at the 7-11 in Arlington on Langston Hughes and Lexington at 11:23 pm Love will tear us apart by Joy Division came on.

I'm fine with multiple types of businesses. Restaurants are iffy but if it seems uncharacteristic or surprising, post it.

E.g.: Yesterday, Nick Drake "Cello Song" at Jason's Deli, Columbia.

Neil Young “After The Gold Rush”

Burger King, Westminster

I'm wondering if we need to get a ref to make a call on all these new definitions of grocery shopping

Seeing as most groceries have fast casual food options available, I would say outside of fine dining establishments this is allowed…

Maybe the person who started the thread?

In this era of inclusiveness, I say anything goes. Maybe put an asterisk next to non-,grocery stores.

12:21 Joy Division Love will tear us apart

Same 7-11 at gas station as last time

Not to nitpick…the title of the thread is too encompassing. If we are supposed to post the best song played AS I grocery shopped…you could be posting any shitty song you hear if it happens to be the only song, or one of just a few songs played on a short shopping venture.  Maybe the thread should be "obscure" "unexpected" or "interesting" songs played while shopping….  Anyway just my thoughts.

I mean, we don’t know what other songs were played, so we have to trust the judgment of the poster.

I agree, I think it's implied that the song chosen is unexpected compared to the venue it's being played at
Could you imagine space setting up a setlist.fm account and detailing every song played from entrance to exit and then posting it here

so I think this nit-pick is eligible for a card as the nit in question wasn't a nit at all

…I need to go back to editing my flow, this vibe coding isn't all it's cracked up to be
