Australian Supermarkets' Surprising Soundtrack: An Expat's "Culture Shock"

An expatriate from the United Kingdom has shared her "culture shock" experience regarding the music played in Australian supermarkets. In a recent video, the woman, identified as Gem, highlighted the stark difference in background music between grocery stores in Australia and the UK. "One thing here in Australia compared to the UK, in the supermarkets, they've always got banging music. It's so good," she stated in the video. She recounted hearing popular artists like Jamelia and the Spice Girls during her shopping trips. The expat noted that both major Australian supermarket chains, Woolworths and Coles, consistently feature upbeat and well-known tracks. This observation suggests a unique aspect of the Australian retail experience, where the musical ambiance aims to be more engaging and enjoyable for shoppers.
