What is it about NTs ...

I know, don't get me started! Just been for meal in quiet country pub (barman turned soft rock playlist on - didn’t spoil my experience, but not needed) and came home to find landscapers next door had radio on (annoying). Headphones, people!

‘Loud thumping?” “Rhythmic noise?” “Discos?”

Oh no, am I a NT?!?

Jokes aside, I wonder how shopping music differs between America and the UK. I feel like we generally play soft rock from 80s and 90s to inspire shoppers to take their time.

I used to like physical shops, as I like to look at things and maybe try them on before buying, but I've noticed so many shops have music often different music in different parts of the shop. It puts me off and I often leave, its not good for me or for the shops, as I don't get what I need and they dont get sales.

Apparently psychologists reckon that music encourages buying behaviour, obviously they've never met autistic people, as it encourages running away behaviour.

The noise level in shopping centres, and large shops generally, is why I seldom visit them and prefer to order things online.
