About 2 weeks ago. It's no better or worse than the usual music they play.

Above all, WHY must they play music everywhere and so loud

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Because it makes some people (not you or I) hang about the shops longer and buy more things.

Spot on! Too much/too hard and I make a 180 right at the door. Sometimes -when in the mood- I challenge an employee to turn it down. Their reaction is always one of :

  • "we can't, even if we wanted to" to which I offer -but are always being denied- to pull some plugs or fuses.
  • "it's what our customers want" but can't provide reference customers nor details on either which/when/where/how they polled
