On a 60-degree October morning at a McDonald’s in Manhattan, I wolfed down my Sausage McMuffin to the strains of Brenda Lee’s Rockin’ Round the Christmas Tree.
My ears didn’t deceive me. This McDonald’s (MCD) has been been pumping out holiday music since Oct. 15, the day it received the CD from corporate, store manager Luis Tapia said. And when corporate sends its monthly CD, Tapia explained, you play it. “They make research,” he told DailyFinance, noting that the jolly soundtrack perhaps takes peoples’ minds off war and recession.
But isn’t a tad early? See if it is here.
