Alright Localface,
I went in to HMV for the first time in ages yesterday. I didn't buy anything, therefore I believe their system must be flawed in some way.

They're a record shop, but they don't appear to stock records.
I'm no John Harvey-Jones or Mary Portas or whatever, but I think this is a flaw in their business model.

It's because not enough people buy records
so their business model somehow skews to selling xbox controllers and One Direction posters.

I'm not going to pretend to understand how this works.

I don't think they know either
I think they're desperately selling anything that keeps them afloat. I wouldn't be surprised if £50 buys you half an hour in a locked stockroom with one of their more attractive sales girls these days.

They have some good DVD offers sometimes
the complete James Bond on DVD for £49 was tempting, but that's about it.

I saw a boxset of torchwood marked down from £70 to only £50ish!

Does that make you a customer or not?
