Of course if the op likes Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald and Perry Como, SiriusXM has The Siriusly Sinatra channel and 40's on 4 that play those artists.
It would be too much to expect a bank to have those. I don't have the money to put Sirius/XM in my car. But "Love" would be a more reasonable choice for a professional business.
Not anymore. I'm hearing Talking Heads while shopping at Safeway.
There's no such thing as "not anymore". You're either professional or you're not. A professional office that doesn't sound professional will offend people and lose business.
And I won't put up with garbage like that at my grocery store. They've been through this before. They will do what I say. When they were reluctant, I just mentioned I would add to the voices who say that in the area immediately surrounding the headquarters city, they have a monopoly and don't have to treat the customers right. So they know to treat me right.
A successful professional business grows and adapts to the tastes of its clientele. There are 50 year olds who grew up on New Wave. The Ramones' "I Wanna Be Sedated"is showing up on research as a "feel good" song for women currently in their 40s.
In other words, when you walk into Bank of America, Chase, Wells Fargo or whichever, they're attempting to appeal to grownups (without usually going as far as Talking Heads or The Ramones). Milton Drysdale won't be coming out of his office to greet you while Mantovani plays softly in the background.
I'm happy for you that you have the power to force your local monopolistic grocer not to play music you personally don't like (what do you have them playing?). I'm very sad for all the customers who don't share your taste in music.
