A retail employee's nightmare. There's always that one song that tortures you every shift and gives you flashbacks whenever you hear it anywhere for the rest of your life. A surreal hell.
It’s sad to think about an Ames Department Store when it was closing…. I feel very bad for this Retail store. A store being defunct like this one is a Nightmare to me. R.I.P Ames. 1958-2002
Searched for this song being played over a supermarket speaker because I can still remember back in March of 2020 when the Coronavirus Pandemic was beginning and remember seeing my local Walmart and H-E-B (TX grocery store) completely empty of goods like toilet paper, water bottles, etc or messed up from rushed panicked shoppers with this song playing as I walked down the isles. Was an eerie experience and this song playing felt so out of place yet somehow fitting to the whole situation in a twisted fashion.
Wonderful job! I feel as if I was an employee on the last day, the last day of liquidation sales and closing of the store. Definitely brings you back to a time when Ames was once mighty.
Every time I always hear this song playing somewhere I always tend to hear a cat meow for some unknown reason maybe it's just me but who knew. Great video by the way along with the great song with it as I really do seem to love it a lot!
I wonder what my town’s mall sounded like, the day Alco closed in 2014, since Alco also controlled the intercoms throughout the rest of the mall (you know, because they had the equipment, and this is a small mall)
I worked at a macys store that played the song i will go down with this ship when they were closing back in 2007. fitting song for the place closing. i wish i would of recored it. lol
When I hear this, I think of an early morning at the mall in the 90s. A wonderful feeling.

Can confirm. Ex-AMC Theatres employee here. I still have "Convoy" by Mannheim Steamroller stuck in my head 18 years later.
Mine was Uptown Girl by the Pet Shop Boys.
Makes me want to run for the nearest open window whenever it comes on.

One thing's for sure, there's no one to bring you down there.
Yep this is the proper song for a store that just had the worst Meltdown ever.. sorry Ames but you were brought down all right.
The Ames store pictured in this video is the former Ames store (originally a King's discount store) in Hudson, NY
Thanks man!, didn't know that
No problem
Pretty sure Shop rite is what moved into the former ames,
But it's not abandoned anymore
@@retailguy247 ok

It's kinda creepy LOL. It fits the situation well for the store closing. It is sad though to see places go.

It’s a still image with overlaid music. Unfortunately not real.
@@sgauntt you're not real
@@NinjaPineapple wow, great comeback.

I’m not sure why I love this but I really, really do. I’m not exaggerating when I say you’ve created a legit piece of art here!
I wish they never went out of business they probably have a radio hooked up when they were tearing down the shelves

Someone had a good idea on the last day to have a jam session with the stores pa system. I would've done the same thing.
All the green and white.
nice video.
what's your disc btw?
Poor stores depressed😔.
I'm the 200 subcriber
perfect, sans some intermittent radio static/distortion (though perhaps I'm thinking more along the lines of such a store in *1992* )
Now another store is gone it’s the store that also Kmart had its sears is also gone
there come back hopefully
Now I know there was another dead store besides Toys R us
You should do more of these with different songs
maybe!
It's funny but so goddamn sad
How is its funny all it shows is a picture of a ames dep store and some music
What ever happened to the ames stores that they have all been shot down for years
This is very depressing.
That a ames looks like a empty target
It really does.
Lol
ZOMBIES
How did you get access to the store?
I just did some audio editing, so it seems like it's playing in that store, this wasn't actually recorded in a store.
@@Saul_Soto82 can you tell me what you used?
@@funtimesatthefunhouse audacity
Not real.
Duh
Yea you should have know that already
@@Scruds I did, read the rest of the comments, most people don’t.
Ok I’m sorry for playing the asshole here
