    There are different channels. The stores you’re going into are playing that music by choice, often to cater to specific demographics. You wouldn’t expect, say, a skateboard shop to play classical, just as you wouldn’t expect a greeting card store to play death metal. I remember when the hardware store I worked in switched from instrumental to music with lyrics.

      I would happily shop at a greeting card store that played death metal — and I don’t even like death metal.

        Ugh, I’ve always hated the lyric free versions of songs that played in the JC Penny (?) clothing section my mother used to drag me to.
