I went to one of the local chain stores at lunch time today. The basic mission was to pick up the eragon DVD and to kill part of my lunch hour browsing. I did my "Best" to "Buy" something else in this store (which shall remain nameless) but was literally driven out by the conflicting cacophony of music and sound.
1) The home theatre department was showing a current action movie in full surround sound.
2) Next to that the CD department was loudly playing rap music on the overhead system.
3) The bored clerk in the mp3 player department was also playing rap, loudly - of course it was a totally different piece than the music department had on.
4) One of the Ghetto Blasters was playing rock.
5) The TV department sets were cranked up on whatever demo was playing.
6) The X-Box display was demoing a war game.
7) The Car stereo department was putting out something with Bass LOTS of Bass.
Doesn't the store management realise that they are driving customers out of the store?
