We reported a few days about on Tesco banning a Christmas brass band in Blackpool. Now it seems that other Tesco stores are getting in on the act. In Mold, the Deeside Silver Band was told to play outside, because, according to the Daily Post, the band was told that the music might have 'drowned out the Tannoy system and could upset customers'. The band decided it would be too cold for its very young and elderly players to perform a full session and left.
Tesco's spin this time.. "we’ve found that when bands set up by the front door, they collect more money because customers leave stores with plenty of spare change in their pockets.” Why not just admit it, Tesco managers - you were worried that you might make a little less money for a few minutes.
Bah, humbug just about sums it up...
