Coles employees have revealed the ‘secret’ song that plays every weekend in all stores across Australia.
The upbeat 90s pop tune ‘Get Ready for This’ by Belgian-Dutch dance act 2 Unlimited plays at the same time on weekends to motivate and energise staff.
A Coles spokesperson confirmed to Daily Mail that the song is played at 2pm every Saturday and Sunday across their in-house Coles Radio.
‘Coles Radio plays the 2pm Rumble song on weekends, prompting our team members to have some fun while giving the store a tidy up after a busy morning,’ the spokesperson confirmed.

Daily Mail understands that when the song is played, it not only provides a motivating boost to the in-store workers, but also signals that it’s time for them to begin tidying up the aisles and clearing boxes and debris after a busy day.
‘When the Rumble song comes on, it’s a great energy lift for both our team and customers,’ the spokesperson added.

The employee is seen lip-syncing along to the distinctive line while pointing her finger to the sky.
Meanwhile, other workers standing behind her toss empty cardboard boxes into the air as though they are confetti at a concert – before all breaking out in an impromptu dance party in the middle of the supermarket.
Both social media videos attracted comments from shoppers as well as employees who were in the know about what the song playing over the in-store speaker meant.
‘It’s 2pm somewhere,’ read one reply.

Woolworths also has a ‘secret’ 3pm song that plays every day in all stores across Australia.
The catchy, upbeat ‘Pump It Up!’ tune by Belgian musician Danzel plays around 3pm every day to power employees through their shift.
‘Did you know that the Pump It Up! song plays at 3.02pm every day in all stores? It’s so we can pump our vibes,’ a Woolworths employee said.
Two workers from a Queensland store shared an amusing video showing their team dancing in the cold food aisle to the tune in the afternoon.

The radio co-hosts asked a Woolworths employee about the ‘3pm secret song’, and she confirmed it was indeed true.
‘Yes it is, at 3 o’clock every day,’ the worker said.
‘It’s a reminder to department managers to prepare their evening trade by playing the same song to pump up the team for the night.’

A Woolworths spokesperson replied to the radio show’s video, saying: ‘Can confirm this is correct. But it’s actually 3.02pm and not a second earlier.’
One worker jokingly responded: ‘As a Woolies worker, I can tell you it doesn’t pump us up and we collectively groan.’
Another added: ‘Never noticed the song until my manager told me about it a month ago. Now I can’t not hear it when it plays.’
One employee shared: ‘It drives me crazy but then I’m like, “Yes, one hour until home time.”‘

While another worker revealed: ‘As a Woolies employee, we actually have no idea why it plays every day at 3pm. As far as we know, it means nothing.’
Many were stunned by the revelation, with one saying: ‘I was in Woolies yesterday at 3pm and I was shocked to hear it playing over the speakers. Now I know why.’
‘Wait, I literally asked a worker about this and they said there’s a specific routine and the song reminds them,’ another shared.
