They know that their employers need happy customers to make their profits that pay their wages. But there is one thing about working in a shop over Christmas that is too bad to toler
3、ate. That thing is music. These days, all shops and many offices have what is known as Piped music or muzak playing for all the hours that they are open. Muzak has an odd history.
