Last night I was at the new London Drugs at Cambie and Broadway. The store-wide speaker system was cranking out some cheesy 70s/80s music, which was definitely selected by someone with taste.
I was downright digging it. Then I noticed other people bopping their heads, which started conversations. The cashier even told me people had complimented on the music. I didn’t want to leave – I hung out for longer than anticipated, boogieing from aisle to aisle.
Maybe it isn’t cranked when grandmas make up a larger percentage on Wednesday mornings, but for too long we’ve limited having a fun experience to only certain venues/industries. Oh what a joy to see a staid, typical drug store encourage loiterers and patrons to bust a move.
