Thread Name: Psychology of background music in stores
Subject: RE: Psychology of background music in stores
We're on a tight budget, and Asda has quite keen prices. But my nerves just won't stand the noise of loud music, even louder public address announcements and those ghastly red and yellow prices hanging all over the place. It's a senses overload and I feel like screaming, so we don't shop there any more. The fact is, that whatever music stores play, it can't please everyone. And I feel nowadays, people are used to constant din and musak, and feel quite edgy with pure silence. I've even been driven into St Peter Mancroft, a huge and beautiful old church in Norwich, for a bit of silence in their side chapel, to partake of some peace during shopping trips.
