No selection beyond the big-label crap

by the_mole

Let's see...the prices aren't competitive, they only carry what the major labels push them to carry, and the ambience is...well, it's Best Buy. I can't believe any real music fan would shop here.

• Cons: Poor selection, Poor prices

Cheap Cd's, not much markup. You're not going to the place to raise your children, who cares about atmosphere? By your goods and leave.
