Ive actually walked out of stores because the music was driving me nuts.  I was in Dillard's one Labor Day week-end and all they were playing was Beach Boys music.  One of their songs is okay but over and over, song after song will drive you up the wall.  I felt so sorry for the employees.


Giggle. 

That reminds me of the movie, "The 40-Year Old Virgin".

They work in an electronics store with a huge wall of TVs.

The only video playing on every.single.TV is Michael McDonald's 'Ya Mo B There"...and of course, it's driving everyone crazy.  

Giggle x 2.

I prefer NO music in stores or in the gym. Very annoying. As another poster stated, the music is Amercrombie & Finch is the absolute worst. I went in once to get a gift for my neice - NEVER went back.

I DO enjoy most music as I am shopping, but, of course, not if it is jarringly loud.  I have been known to sing along and tap my foot (as another on this thread).   One time I was eating in a Taco Bell and they were playing CLASSICAL music.  I was in Heaven Woman Happy Never heard it played in any other store in my 64 years.

I don't mind music playing where I shop. I guess I'm lucky to be able to tune out what I'm not crazy for.

 I prefer no music.  I can't remember the last time I went into a store with music on.

I enjoy it as long as it isn't too loud but, unfortunately, most of the time they have it blaring. I especially enjoy it around the holidays.


That's the only time I mind it...when it's too loud to talk to whoever you're with, or have a conversation with a sales associate.  Fortunately, my kids are older now, and we no longer go to the stores with crazy loud music.

Re: Music in Stores, Pro or Con?

   I enjoy music in the stores.  Restaurants, I dont remember ever hearing any, unless they have a band.

    Years ago, I was in the grocery store and started crying.  I couldnt tell why, until I actually tuned my hearing into the song that was playing, it was the Stevie Wonder song, that was playing years previously when my parents called to say my Grandmother had died.  So I feel music is important in my life, in the house, car, and stores.----------tedEbear

I'm much more annoyed by the running, screaming, out of control children in stores than I am by the overhead music.


Ditto ...... and I don't let it go anymore ...... if kids are running and screaming, I yell:    "Hey, you be careful!!  .....  where's your mother?" .....  it's funny how fast women appear and hurry the little monsters  off in the other direction .... lol.

Re: Music in Stores, Pro or Con?

I was at my local,Marshall's last night and the music was blaring hip hop. The music is always loud there. My local supermarket plays music which is nice but very softly. Depends on the store.
