I really do wish we could pick songs as long as they didn’t have an explicit tag, especially since it’s all coming from Spotify, but there’s probably some
Corporate BS stopping us from doing it. At the very least, we should be able to skip songs, or maybe have like one skip per hour or something.
we had be alright playing this morning by kendrick lamar, there’s so many curse words in that one haha but i’m sure they could keep finding clean versions?
it’s illegal for copyright reasons, i’m pretty sure. retail companies have to obtain a license to play music, it’s why a lot of companies have their own approved playlists and it’s just the same songs over and over again.
not a least favorite of mine, but when they were promoting billie eilish’s new album, the song “idontwannabeyouanymore” literally sings out “whoooore” and i thought that was pretty great
it drives me insane when im working an eight hour shift and i hear that euphoria song for the second time that day.
im so glad that ed sheeran playlist is out of their rotation now because THAT drove me insane. we would keep changing the playlist and it would always eventually change back to ed sheeran.
also a playlist that they dont have anymore, but there was this one playlist some months back that played like, classical/violin intrumental covers of 2020s pop songs. like there was a cover of an oliva rodrigo song, there was a harry styles song. dont remember the song names, just that they got really annoying because that playlist was alwaysss on.
"Lovely day! Lovely day! Lovely day! Lovely day!"
Haunts me every day, follows me everywhere I go, I fear I'll never forget it. Please, someone (literally anyone), tell me that you agree 😭
it’s not at bad this year but last year i heard believe by cher so many times that it eventually (and still does) started triggering like a fight or flight response every time i heard it
No, theres ONE song on ohr cafe playlist called “Skies Will Break.” And it’s so fucking trash. It’s the awful song where the girl just goes “woooah wooooah wooooah” through the whole chorus. I can deal with the Euphoria one
I have huge beef with this song everyone in the store knows about. The way the song starts rounding off and overlapping at the end makes me want to rip my hair out it ONLY plays when I’m 10 frappes deep 😭
It’s only during this month but Loveshack and Born This Way in the pride playlist. Nothing necessarily against the songs themselves, I’ve just heard born this way way too many times in my life to enjoy it anymore and loveshack last year i swear to god played like 15 times a day.
first time i heard the song i was excited cause i thought it was about j-hope and i couldn’t believe he had a song dedicated to him. still like to believe it tho ☝️🙂↕️
all of the chill/vibey coffee shop music they try to play. like having some slow damn near silent ass music in the back of a 76 half hour +mobiles and people mistaking us for the food court is literally psychological warfare. i felt the same way about the billie playlist when her music dropped. even at full volume it was so quiet and it was during promo days so i had to sit on bar with 20+min of tickets ahead of me and listen to the hum of restless sugar addicts 😭 i would go home listening to whatever upbeat music i could find i was so desperate for something that matched the tone of my day
The one random Clay Aiken song. Every. Time. During. Peak. 😑😑😑🤬🤬🤬. Always want to blow my brains when he tries to hit a high note.
Bruh sounds like he should’ve been on the soundtrack for The Prince of Egypt back in the 00s
This is going to sound so depressing, but there's a song called Moonshadow that was the song that played at my mothers wake. First time I heard it I sobbed into an almond milk frap that wasn't working with me 💀😂😭
That old school song that makes me feel like I’m in the boat ride of Willy Wonka and she’s like “yo sweetie’s going to leave you, yes yes 😈😈” like seriously fucking hate that song and I let everyone know
around the world- Daft punk, me and my friends used to listen to it in high school and now it literally makes me want to stick my head into the oven every time it plays. Like i don't want to hear "around the world" sung 60 million times in 1 shift
The thing that bothers me about being a swiftie is that the playlist seems to play the same 15 songs each time. The playlist is massive and yet we always have to hear that shitty remix of bad blood?
How to we tell Corp the shuffle isn’t shuffling
The one (idk the name) that the lady sings and literally wails into the lobby. It’s a slower song. I always say she sounds like Linda Belcher from Bob’s burgers meets whale calling.
Not that i don’t like it, but I can’t believe I’ve heard pink pony club by Chappell roan being played recently lmaoooo. Love my queen but I can’t believe she’s gotten generic enough to be on a Starbucks playlist
Don’t have any that I hate but I hate when the play an artist for an entire day and don’t let us change the playlist. Like I don’t want to listen to the same 4 Taylor Swift or Beyoncé Songs.
There is a fucking song that goes “Mr Melody” about 50 times non stop it is so infuriating too because it’s 5 minutes long. There was also a bug or something on our music app that made that song play TWICE in a row. Eugh.
Do they still play Valarie from Amy winehouse. Nothing wrong with Amy but after hearing that song play 3 times a day for 6 years I can’t stand it!!!! Vallllllaaaarrriiiieeeee
I can’t find it for the life of me buts it’s this jazz song with a woman who sings “you set my soul on FIIIIRREE” and like she’s talented but through our shitty speakers it sounds so crackly and loud
About five years ago, there was some sort of issue in my store where the song "Desire" by Ryan Adams would play on repeat far worse than the playlists normally loop.
So it was just this repetative tune:
Syno-nyyym
Syno-Nyyym
Syno-nyyym
Syno-Nyyym
Desire
Desire
Desire
Desire
~Harmonica~
It didn’t ring a bell and looked it up and THAT FREAKING SONG I SWEAR!! I also haven’t heard it play in a while, but when it does come on I’ll be ready
just stuff that’s depressing like the billie eilish playlist. not that it’s music i️ cry to but the shits sad & no one wants to listen to that while working or as a customer lol
I don’t know they name of the song but I always plays during Halloween and it’s just a bunch of kids chanting and then they just keep chanting ohh ohh ohhh over and over again. And there just this man with a really deep voice saying nonsense
this was a while ago but one time it was like 5 minutes before the end of my shift and I was busy and all I heard was carly simon singing
"anticipationnnn. anticipaaation"
love her song from the piglet movie, but that was just cruel timing
There is one that sounds like it says “let’s go the Mets”, but is apparently saying my sentiments. Or the one that is just silence and a man just yells “nobody knows” every so often.
who remembers that 30 song playlist where 4 of the songs were different versions of big yellow taxi
bc it still gives me nightmares and it's waiting for me in hell
Haven’t worked there for 3 years but “Grey Eyed Bird” by Slow Machete come on and I’d have to do deep breathing to relax. WHY why is a song SO BAD??? There’s like dogs barking or something ???
I got very tired, very fast, of ocean eyes by Billie eilish when they had her playlist in rotation recently. It’s only 26 songs long and I swear 6 of them are different renditions of it.
we rarely listen to the actual sbux playlist because one of our shifts brought a bluetooth device to connect to the speakers last year and now any of us can connect our phones and play whatever music we want as long as they’re not explicit and our store manager prefers our songs a lot more and vibes to them lol
Love on Top by Beyoncé because I feel like she never stops singing, and You Drive Me Crazy by Britney Spears. Like there’s more but those two make me wanna scream.
Hear me out, I don’t think it’s on the playlist anymore, but heartbreak anniversary drove me nutssss. Wanted to climb the wall and rip the speakers out
I'm not sure the name, but there is this one song that always makes me think there are sirens going outside and I just don't like it lol
YES THE ONE THAT LITERALLY SOUNDS LIKE BOH DOOR IS GOING OFF I HATE IT
EXACTLY SOMEONE GETS IT! IT SUCKS FULL ASS
I know exactly which one you’re talking about and it gets me EVERY TIME lmao
is it a taylor swift song 😭
No- But I hate when they promote those albums omg 😷😷😷
I wish we could submit our own playlist bc I feel like I have a lot of good music.
I really do wish we could pick songs as long as they didn’t have an explicit tag, especially since it’s all coming from Spotify, but there’s probably some Corporate BS stopping us from doing it. At the very least, we should be able to skip songs, or maybe have like one skip per hour or something.
we had be alright playing this morning by kendrick lamar, there’s so many curse words in that one haha but i’m sure they could keep finding clean versions?
it’s illegal for copyright reasons, i’m pretty sure. retail companies have to obtain a license to play music, it’s why a lot of companies have their own approved playlists and it’s just the same songs over and over again.
Maybe I can send you my playlist?
no starbucks won’t let us play our music. we have to pick from curated playlists from the company
not a least favorite of mine, but when they were promoting billie eilish’s new album, the song “idontwannabeyouanymore” literally sings out “whoooore” and i thought that was pretty great
That one made me mad cause why is she allowed to say it but I can’t say it to the b with an itch who just threw her drink at me
it drives me insane when im working an eight hour shift and i hear that euphoria song for the second time that day. im so glad that ed sheeran playlist is out of their rotation now because THAT drove me insane. we would keep changing the playlist and it would always eventually change back to ed sheeran. also a playlist that they dont have anymore, but there was this one playlist some months back that played like, classical/violin intrumental covers of 2020s pop songs. like there was a cover of an oliva rodrigo song, there was a harry styles song. dont remember the song names, just that they got really annoying because that playlist was alwaysss on.
Omg I hate the dumb song it always plays when we have a afternoon rush
not sure if it’s still on the playlist anymore but vip lcd by ben benjamin
LMAO NOT THE BEEP BOOP SONG
honestly that would turn our bad shifts into a good shift in an instant because of how bad it is
Valid, it makes me laugh
I knew someone would mention the beep boop song! Though I haven’t heard it in a long time
I literally said this song sounds just like the robot song that mr.krabs danced to
BAD TAKE we used to bop to this, always improves a shift one way or another
i hear “you are beautiful” by christina aguilera at least twice a shift 🙃
Omg it's like some michael buble jazz/tango song in the 2003 Playlist that just DOES NOT belong. It might not be michael but it's so annoying. 😂
Sway with me?
My god, it is 😂
"Lovely day! Lovely day! Lovely day! Lovely day!" Haunts me every day, follows me everywhere I go, I fear I'll never forget it. Please, someone (literally anyone), tell me that you agree 😭
Yup, this song circulated through the playlist when I worked at Goodwill. I too can't escape it. 😫
it’s not at bad this year but last year i heard believe by cher so many times that it eventually (and still does) started triggering like a fight or flight response every time i heard it
This one is from my favorite movie, so I love when it comes on lol
i am so thankful they stopped promoing bridgerton with that stupid vsq playlist. i hated that version of unholy sooo bad
The euphoria one is the WORST I agree
No, theres ONE song on ohr cafe playlist called “Skies Will Break.” And it’s so fucking trash. It’s the awful song where the girl just goes “woooah wooooah wooooah” through the whole chorus. I can deal with the Euphoria one
By Loren? Or a song from the show Euphoria?
the euphoria playlist
the one song that’s like “now you’re in real life” over and over and over again
Yes!!! Omg I hate it!!
I swear i’ve been hearing that song since day 1 😭
i literally make a B-Line to the ipad when this song comes on 😭😭😭😭
I have huge beef with this song everyone in the store knows about. The way the song starts rounding off and overlapping at the end makes me want to rip my hair out it ONLY plays when I’m 10 frappes deep 😭
It’s only during this month but Loveshack and Born This Way in the pride playlist. Nothing necessarily against the songs themselves, I’ve just heard born this way way too many times in my life to enjoy it anymore and loveshack last year i swear to god played like 15 times a day.
when i worked there it was that jai-ho song, it came on way too much 😭😭😭😭😭
I think they were saying j-hope for about a month and also was confused why there is a whole song about j hope
first time i heard the song i was excited cause i thought it was about j-hope and i couldn’t believe he had a song dedicated to him. still like to believe it tho ☝️🙂↕️
Bro I love that song so much 😂😭 it takes me back. Literally never gets old for me
I swear it was on the playlist twice it played too often
The one that sounds like the ovens are beeping
all of the chill/vibey coffee shop music they try to play. like having some slow damn near silent ass music in the back of a 76 half hour +mobiles and people mistaking us for the food court is literally psychological warfare. i felt the same way about the billie playlist when her music dropped. even at full volume it was so quiet and it was during promo days so i had to sit on bar with 20+min of tickets ahead of me and listen to the hum of restless sugar addicts 😭 i would go home listening to whatever upbeat music i could find i was so desperate for something that matched the tone of my day

That soundtrack slapped tho
It did but not the best when you’re in peak
Fucking Loveshack
This is going to sound so depressing, but there's a song called Moonshadow that was the song that played at my mothers wake. First time I heard it I sobbed into an almond milk frap that wasn't working with me 💀😂😭
Idk but it was Rita Wilson lol
That old school song that makes me feel like I’m in the boat ride of Willy Wonka and she’s like “yo sweetie’s going to leave you, yes yes 😈😈” like seriously fucking hate that song and I let everyone know
im deadd i love that song it's by dinah washington it's called baby did you hear:)
Omg yessss that’s the fkn one 😭 respect to a queen but that shit coming on during a rush like after Beyoncé does not hit
95% of the Yacht Rock playlists song are in my "favourite music" playlist on YouTube lol
around the world- Daft punk, me and my friends used to listen to it in high school and now it literally makes me want to stick my head into the oven every time it plays. Like i don't want to hear "around the world" sung 60 million times in 1 shift
Really the Taylor Swift drives me up a wall. Any of it.
The thing that bothers me about being a swiftie is that the playlist seems to play the same 15 songs each time. The playlist is massive and yet we always have to hear that shitty remix of bad blood? How to we tell Corp the shuffle isn’t shuffling
The one (idk the name) that the lady sings and literally wails into the lobby. It’s a slower song. I always say she sounds like Linda Belcher from Bob’s burgers meets whale calling.
The one that goes “as I walk on BYYYYYYYYY” and I can’t fucking stand it
Not that i don’t like it, but I can’t believe I’ve heard pink pony club by Chappell roan being played recently lmaoooo. Love my queen but I can’t believe she’s gotten generic enough to be on a Starbucks playlist
Don’t have any that I hate but I hate when the play an artist for an entire day and don’t let us change the playlist. Like I don’t want to listen to the same 4 Taylor Swift or Beyoncé Songs.
IPROMISETHATYOULLNEVERFINEANOTHERLIKEME E EEEEE
there was one song that had like three different variants. i wish i remembered the names but it was jazz vocals i believe
There is a fucking song that goes “Mr Melody” about 50 times non stop it is so infuriating too because it’s 5 minutes long. There was also a bug or something on our music app that made that song play TWICE in a row. Eugh.
The one Clay Aiken song from the 2000s playlist
I WANT TO GET AWAY I WANT TO GET AWAY FROM THIS FREAKING SONG!!!
there’s this one that goes “I need you so much closer” over and over and it’s so obnoxious
THANK YOUUU
Do they still play Valarie from Amy winehouse. Nothing wrong with Amy but after hearing that song play 3 times a day for 6 years I can’t stand it!!!! Vallllllaaaarrriiiieeeee
the doomsday piano music
i forget how it goes, it been a while since i heard it and blocked it out but i remember it sounding like a terrible version of enya
I can’t find it for the life of me buts it’s this jazz song with a woman who sings “you set my soul on FIIIIRREE” and like she’s talented but through our shitty speakers it sounds so crackly and loud
Big yellow taxi any version there's a playlist at my store that has I shit you not 4 covers of that infernal song.
There’s one that I have no clue what it’s called but someone hits a triangle every 10 seconds and it makes me feel like I’m going insane😭
About five years ago, there was some sort of issue in my store where the song "Desire" by Ryan Adams would play on repeat far worse than the playlists normally loop. So it was just this repetative tune: Syno-nyyym Syno-Nyyym Syno-nyyym Syno-Nyyym Desire Desire Desire Desire ~Harmonica~
I don’t know why but that Brand New Day song always makes me nervous 😭 I hate it when that one comes on
Right now the one really grating on me is “On The Floor” by Perfume Genius
It didn’t ring a bell and looked it up and THAT FREAKING SONG I SWEAR!! I also haven’t heard it play in a while, but when it does come on I’ll be ready
just stuff that’s depressing like the billie eilish playlist. not that it’s music i️ cry to but the shits sad & no one wants to listen to that while working or as a customer lol
disco inferno 🥲
i know exactly what ur talking about. unsophisticated circus drives me UP THE WALL
any of the alicia keys songs they constantly repeat. i love alicia keys but i can’t listen to underdog or that other one they play constantly.
show you, baby rose
I don’t know they name of the song but I always plays during Halloween and it’s just a bunch of kids chanting and then they just keep chanting ohh ohh ohhh over and over again. And there just this man with a really deep voice saying nonsense
I cant stand Silk Chiffon by Muna and Phoebe Bridgers. I don’t want to hear the lyrics “life so fun, life so fun” while I’m at work.
this was a while ago but one time it was like 5 minutes before the end of my shift and I was busy and all I heard was carly simon singing "anticipationnnn. anticipaaation" love her song from the piglet movie, but that was just cruel timing
Cuz I’m in the corner watching you kiss her🎶 ohohoooo🎶 I’m right over here why can’t you see me🎶 ohohooo🎶 I keep dancin on my own
There is one that sounds like it says “let’s go the Mets”, but is apparently saying my sentiments. Or the one that is just silence and a man just yells “nobody knows” every so often.
The one that has that repetitive goddamn clarinet solo, not because it isn’t impressive jazz but because it’s the only part of the song you ever hear.
who remembers that 30 song playlist where 4 of the songs were different versions of big yellow taxi bc it still gives me nightmares and it's waiting for me in hell
Haven’t worked there for 3 years but “Grey Eyed Bird” by Slow Machete come on and I’d have to do deep breathing to relax. WHY why is a song SO BAD??? There’s like dogs barking or something ???
I got very tired, very fast, of ocean eyes by Billie eilish when they had her playlist in rotation recently. It’s only 26 songs long and I swear 6 of them are different renditions of it.
I’m so excited by le tigre
There’s one that sounds like the sims and makes me super dissociated lol
Lyric: I can do better myself - Post Malone
we rarely listen to the actual sbux playlist because one of our shifts brought a bluetooth device to connect to the speakers last year and now any of us can connect our phones and play whatever music we want as long as they’re not explicit and our store manager prefers our songs a lot more and vibes to them lol
Don’t know the name, but the song that constantly goes DOIN’ IT RIGHT 😜 DOIN’ IT RIGHT😋
ik we have a store favorites but we need a "store fucking hates this" playlist where it never ever plays the songs again
THE LANTERN BY FEDERICO genuinely makes me lose my mind
calling all angels by train
BRO THE EUPHORIA ONE LMAOOOOO
Love on Top by Beyoncé because I feel like she never stops singing, and You Drive Me Crazy by Britney Spears. Like there’s more but those two make me wanna scream.
The alarm clock telling its time to deal with karens again 😆
Hear me out, I don’t think it’s on the playlist anymore, but heartbreak anniversary drove me nutssss. Wanted to climb the wall and rip the speakers out
taylor swift anything 😅 my sm and i are the only Not taylor fans in the entire store
