Piped music

NAS96624

Does anyone else have huge problems with piped music in nearly every public place? I have to carry ear defenders everywhere I go and the vast majority of shop owners etc get refuse to turn it off and usually get unpleasant about it too. It is becoming so hard to access just about everything in public places.  I am hoping ot find a solicitor who will write a template letter confirming that turning the music off is a reasonable adjustment to ask for.  I have spoken to the EASS and they are surprised that I'm having so much trouble getting music turned off and they believe that it is discriminatory when whops etc refuse to turn it off. Has anyone found a way to enforce rights over this issue?

  • I find it overwhelming and annoying too and when theres screens in shops doing demo's and you've got a few of them all at once. I did complain in tesco about the music and was told that most customers enjoy it, I asked how many customers had been asked about their enjoyment of it? I was told that the store does 8-11am a couple of mornings a week for ASC customers and that I should come then if I have a problem, my reply was it's an inconvienient time and it's before their deliveries and so their stock levels would be even lower than normal and I'd have to go back later for what I want. I asked the manager in the garden centre where they have loads of screens bellowing out adverts and they said if I asked they'd turn them off. But I'd like not to have to ask, I thought most people who wanted to listen to music would have their own on? If you do find a solicitor who will write a letter please let us know, as I'm sure a few of us would be interested, especially in the run up to xmas when we won't be able to escape xmas songs.
