Child Item

Loud dance music in shops

Boolean

I was shopping in Cork this morning and had the ears blown off me in several shops, as they forced their nightclub repetoire upon my fraying nerves. It's so offputting. I complained about it as I paid for my items in one place and the girl just rolled her eyes... Does it bother anybody else?

People spend more money in shops with banging tunes. It raises your heartbeat and sends you into a mild panic which encourages you to spend.

Love it. Makes me feel down with the kids man:)

Yes. I don't shop in such places. I admit that I am the wrong demographic for most of them, but not in every case.

I think it is often a case of staff choosing music that they like, and they don't care about the customers.

Oh, the only panic I felt was wondering if I could get out before my tinnitus got worse (it did).

I love loud good dance music not the type of stuff heard in clothes shops though - I think there is a time and a place all the same - and its definitely not while I'm looking for some sh1t shirt for a wedding!

I thought this too. I feel sorry for staff who have someone else's choice thrust upon them in such a way. To me it would be mental and physical torture.

For every 1 person that leaves, 5 people spend an extra tenner

Saturday shopping in the city is always a good time to drop the shopping bags, twirl towards the front of the queue and break out a spontaneous dance to the tune of club music, simple really.

Ha ha at least that spectacle might keep me in the shop.

Stay away from af and Hollister so.

If it's not Steely Dan I ain't going in.

I might be a bit of a scrooge, but I generally don't like music in shops. It's never, ever good music, either.

I dunno, I think there might be something to music and impulse buying you know. I remember buying half a dozen bantys during the slow set in the Golden Grill many years ago. Hoor of a job sneaking them on the bus home.

Prefer elevator music myself.

If I have to raise my voice to talk to a worker then I won't be going in.

Was it this kind of music ?. Walking around shopping in a store that plays this would really make me leave and go to the nearest dealer for some speed. http://www.partyvibe.com:8010/;stream/1
