Music Shops
Most national chains subject the customer to a highly amplified and endless barrage of rock muzak. For the classical music purchaser, even in the better music shops, such as the larger branches of Virgin and HMV, you will have to endure an assault of loud rock music to get to the relative quiet of the classical area, but these areas are often inadequately soundproofed and the noise from outside infiltrates these areas. For those who are interested in other types of music, such as jazz, world music, folk music, etc., there is no sanctuary. And there is no need for this assault - listening booths can be installed that allow customers to sample the music they are interested in buying in relative privacy.
Complain about this assault even if you have given up on these shops and you buy your CD's by mail order. Only in this way will these outlets realise that they are chasing away potential customers.
