I’m a door greeter at a local shopping centre, and the bosses on up high have allowed me to play my own music (up until now it’s been the same 15 or so songs for the entirety of every shift and if I have to hear Too Sweet by Hozier one more time I’ll cry) while I stand there. The one caveat? Each and every song I submit to the playlist must be approved by the managers or whomever that task is delegated to.

Now i have a large, unique and eclectic music taste across basically all genres, so my playlists are BIG. Very big. 12 hours+ levels of big. If they want to tell me which songs I can and can’t play, they can trawl through all 12 or more hours of my playlists and I will submit multiple, with songs shared between them. Gotta make sure the playlist remains compliant of course.

It feels good to waste their time and even better to introduce them to new songs

EDIT: After reading all your comments on this I have realised that it would not actually be the malicious compliance that I estimated it to be and would infact just be me ruining it for others. Thank you all for your input and I will instead be submitting a handful of songs every week or so

UPDATE: I told my manager what the plan was (turns out he’s actually super chill) and he said that while it definitely would lead to having the choosing music idea scrapped, it would be kinda funny and he wants some music recommendations from me. I let him know that now I’ll send in a handful - like 4 or 5 songs a week and build up the playlist over time. So technically happy ending for everyone??
