Having to hear loud music in 99% of stores is one reason I don't like to shop and we rarely go to restaurants because of the same issue.

As far as reading in the sun...I avoid the sun as much as I can. I like to read outside, but only in the shade when it's not over 75 degrees.
At first I wondered why anybody wouldn't be able to read with music in the background - then it occurred to me that a lot of people don't listen to my kind of music (classical instrumental). I can absolutely understand that music with lyrics could be distracting.

I agree with you on the loud music in stores. Drives me nuts. Used to happen only in youth-oriented stores but has been spreading to other stores too. I actually buy less because I want to get out of the store.
