Where I work, triple X is rated R.

We have music blaring: "F that! F that!" by Kid Cudi.

My co-workers are always swearing, even tho we are all on the phone with customers.

Customers don't hear much, because of ambient noise dampeners in the headsets, but the music is not the only exposure to F-bombs we get. The bosses are real sharp in not dropping it, but the employees are straight sailors.
