Music in Pubs: Introspections on what annoys customers.

A personal peeve is pubs that play music so loud that it becomes difficult to speak. It's not a nightclub - why go to the pub if it's impossible to hold a conversation?
This is a question of economics. When patrons are discouraged from conversation they are more apt to spend more time drinking and more money at the bar.

And in fact music in supermarkets annoys me too. Over a certain level I find it impossible to concentrate well enough to remember what I set out to buy. Or to remember that if I want Yorkshire puddings I'll need flour and eggs and salt.
Ha. They've done their research!
We no longer play music/radio at our pottery studio except at private parties as PRS said that's allowed without a license. I tried some CC music but found it was poorer than mainstream and couldn't find enough good stuff. I like the quiet but it does inhibit people.
Personally I grew up with ready access to peace and quiet and I miss it terribly now I live in a city.
