laughingwolf said...: they just lack the quiet usually found in bookstores...

playing ungodly trash on the speakers, anywhere, would drive me out... quickly... sometimes sans purchase!; December 20, 2011 at 2:28 PM
Trish said...: Quiet is very rare in all aspect of life these days. I would like to once go into a retail establishment that DOESN'T HAVE MUSIC PLAYING! If you must have ambient noise please make it something soft and neutral and not top forty or country. Please? *banging head against wall*; December 20, 2011 at 6:15 PM
