When I was at my previous job we had a few mixes of crap.
One of THE worst songs we had to endure was "caravan of love". It was one of those very "hippy" type songs that had almost no music in the background.
They then changed to some semi-decent stuff, although we'd frequently hear "Disturbia" being played late at night.
On two occasions I can remember, when the store manager wasn't in and the produce manager was in charge, he'd plug his iPod into the system and play a work-safe playlist.
The last song on that list was "Thomas The Tank Engine".
First time we heard that we were in giggle fits across the registers
My training job (unpaid) doesn't play music given we're teaching kids how to swim and neither do my field placements, but at the latter, I have heard Peter Coombe SO many times....although there are some benefits to it. Most of his songs have distinct rhythms, some form of word play or display perfect examples of musical concepts:
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKuy9vubr0E (adds on each time)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJaNvl66XbA (distinct rhythm)
