I'm at some random Starbucks and the music is so damned loud that my noise cancelling headphones can barely keep up. Thinking this is on purpose to get people to buy and leave, but poor employees.

@paul Noise pollution is one of the more overlooked quality of life detractors of our time.
@paul There’s always that one employee who doesn’t care and cranks up the dial. They’re probably deaf from too much loud music at home.
@paul Ugh, I hate it when places do that.
@paul Over here they have turn them into freezers to make your visit as short as possible. People dust off their jackets and hoodies so they can spend a bit of time chatting and/or working at a SB.
