Loud music in shops - you like?
 

so I was in Hollisters today...

firstly, why is it so bloody dark? and cluttered? I really don't need to be rubbing up against strangers when Im innocently shopping. But what really surprised me was how loud the music was! Geez. I mean, I love music in shops(I often whip my mobile out and text down the lyrics of a song if I like it..then google them to find out what the song is called) but I literally could not hear a word the assistant was saying! which strikes me as a ridiculous way to run a business.

apparently theyre not allowed to have music playing over 90 decibels and are legally obliged to offer their staff earplugs if its above that. Which it definitely was!

do you like loud music in shops or does it put you off shopping there?

VOTE NOW

Depends on the shop /thread.

It smells so nice in there, and when you buy the clothes they smell of the shop :love:

also i noticed that shops play good music but its not stuff I would listen to at home. it just seems good for shopping and being out

and they have nice paper bags....

Depends on the shop but generally Id like it.

The more a shop makes me feel like I'm in a gay nightclub, the better.

I don't mind it so much if I am on my own in the shop/store but if I am with someone then it is very annoying when you have to shout to be heard.

meh


(I have 3)

I got 4, bitch

I use one to do my shopping at Tesco express. Glamour.

I don't mind really.

I've never been in a store that has music playing that loud though. D:

This is the loudest shop in Cork. They blare enough Scooter and Tupac Shakur out the door to let everyone within a ten mile radius know they are giving 25% discounts off lava lamps and Bob Marley posters.

It's lovely.

Yeah Hollister's is ridiculously dark :bored:

Hollister is the strangest shop ever, it's great.

The gamestation by mine always has heavy metal music on full blast.. an they wonder why no one is ever in there.

I've never been into Hollister. How dark is it? D:

omfg I was wondering what Hollister was but i remember now

We went to one in the trafford center and it was just blaring out, I couldn't hear anything anyone was saying, it was stupidly dark and there was no air con, everyone was hot and sweaty.

I like loud music but not to that extent, it was stupid

you could be bumming Scott up the aisle and nobody would even notice....that dark.

Omfg. :joker:









:evilgrin:

I absolutely LOVE it. :love: Shame barely any shops do it where I live.

they even have their own specific playlist with some exclusive tracks. This is always playing when I go...

I hate it!I like music in shops, but not ridiculously loud.

There's a dead chavvy shop in town that sells good shoes/trainers, but I can't go in because of their blaring, ****e techno music.

Apart from making me feel completely stressed out, it used to be impossible to take the pram in when kids were babies as they'd wake up screaming! :bored:

thats another thing I hate in shops....prams!

I actually agree.. but what can people do? Leave their kids outside?

Shops - No.
Clubs - Yes.
