Hot Wax makes me feel like I have entered a music store in the 90s. Thats probably because it has been around for more than time.
There is a great selection and good pricing but the records on the walls are being held up with a string that is pinned from one side of the store to the other, at times it is not even straignt. Plus the CD categories of band names are separated by those plastic card separations and the alphabet is drawn on each one by hand. So depending who was organising that day you have all these different hand written styles, with different colored felt pen.
Then there is another area where stickers have been put on and peeled off to make other distinctions. Which is so old skool as well.
I mean I don't mind all the arts and crafts techniques for marketing, it's kind of nostalgic, it just surprises me after all the sleek music places I have visited these days.
I mean keeping your customers happy with knowledgeable service and good pricing is the most important thing anyways.
The guys here are extremely warm and were bantering over some political subject which was kind of cute.
