Music In Shops
20 Answers
A couple of days ago, the present Mrs Hughes and I hit the local town for a shopping spree, picking up a variety of things from a variety of shops.
Without exception, every single one of them was playing generic forgettable pop pap through its speakers.
I know I am not a 'typical' music fan - I like my music from a source where I can identify it if I like it, and I like to listen when I am not concentrating on something else, so I am in the minority when it comes to my objection.
But I did wonder - does everyone else find intrusive bland pop music in shops irritating- or does it wash over you, or are you not bothered either way?

it's what my daughter calls "snow dome music" (she used to work at one which plays the same sort of stuff), generic carp attributable to no-one in particular, which costs them the absolute minimum to broadcast.
that said, in Tesco a week or so back they played James Blunt's "you're beautiful" - and it was the album version, complete with words ruder than bottom. awesome.

In B&Q they play soundalikes, big hits covered by people that sound similar to the original artist, some of the versions of songs are horrific, I find it mildly entertaining. Asda Fm plays some good songs, popular clothes shops like new look or h&m make my ears bleed, probably because its new pop music and I am a bit of a fossil!

We are going to get along just fine, Andy....;-)
In Focus with a trolley full of decorating stuff the music was so loud I asked the manager if he'd turn it down a little so we could hear each other and MrG would then think he had some input into the choice of wallpaper.
The manager refused so we left the trolley and went elsewhere....
I shopped in Kettering's long gone large Co-op

cont: Large Co-op then they introduced Radio Co-op....it was so loud but eventually the manager gave in to my nagging and let me call at his office to have the music turned down when I shopped...this did follow my helping to save the life of a man having a heart attack in the vegetable aisle.....
Aldi has no music....bliss......x
