The Coop supermarket chain has won the wooden spoon of being voted the worst offender for piped music. Although the chain is not everyone’s choice of shop, it is often the only place that the most vulnerable in society – those who cannot drive for whatever reason, for example – find they have to do their shopping. It is also a chain that loudly proclaims its ethical ideals. So whether or not you shop there regularly, write in protest to its CEO Steve Murrells steve.murrells@cooperative.coop
The Nationwide Building Society, which until recently prided itself on not having piped music, is now introducing it, doubtless misled by the smooth mendacious propaganda of the piped music industry. Write to express amazement and disgust to Sarah Rogers, Programme Manager Strategy & Planning, Branch & Workplace Transformation [sic] Sarah.Rogers@nationwide.co.uk
