“I have been driven out of more than one store by the excruciating sounds of pop music, usually at deafening levels sufficient enough to interfere with your thought process.”
My wife and I recently had dinner at a local Red Lobster restaurant that played a constant stream of mindless millenial music over their sound system. It annoyed me so much, I told my wife that it’s the last time I’ll ever set foot in that place.
The worst thing was, I couldn’t spot a single customer in the place who fit the demographic of those who enjoy that music. I couldn’t have been the only one who was turned off.
Ah yes, but the customers aren’t choosing the music. The manager, host or hostess and waitstaff choose the music I am guessing, and they do fit the demographic quite well.
