| - Zia, oh Zia, sometimes you kick me in the junk and then want to make out. But that's okay. I don't mind that you smell like a nag champa factory. I even held you tight that Christmas when the kids were taking sketchy pencil rubbings of everybody's cards because the credit card processor went down. (To Zia's immense credit, nothing funky ever showed up on that card.)
Because in spite of your oddities, and your hit-or-miss inventory, and your hit-or-miss employees, you are truly magnificent.
Whatever you want, they're probably got it. My one issue with the inventory is that I frequently shop here for gifts, and it's not uncommon for Zia to have literally dozens of gift list items only as used copies. Some people don't mind receiving good used stuff, but when I need or want to buy new, it's kind of a bummer.
And now, a secret, since several people have mentioned bearing the local record shop's higher prices: Zia usually discounts for preorder and release. If you know there's an album coming out that you want, either preorder it or go buy it the week it comes out. You'll save 3 or 4 bucks over going in the next week. And sign up for the Zia Rewards program, which both accrues reward points and (usually) gets you a survey card good for a discount on your next purchase.
