no more tower records… tower records out of business… closing its doors… long live the depeche mode riots of 1989!!
I don’t know, I think this is what they get for paying their employees $7 an hour and generally treating them like crap! I remember the "mandatory inventory" where we were all required to arrive at 5:30 AM and start counting shit…and continue counting shit all day while the store was open to customers. Managment was also lousy and HR was totally uncool. Basic business rule #1– if you don’t take care of your employees, your business will suffer.
I did make some great friends there so it wasn’t a total loss! And I did love working around music every day, especially with other people who knew so much about different genres and the occasional, equally passionate customer.
One heads-up about the closing: be sure to shop their website. I picked up a few DVDS as Christmas gifts at a cost of about $7.99 a piece.
There`s no Tower Records around here but we had a similar store.There`s still 1 of them around here but most of them was shut 5 years ago.Poor management as well seemed to be their downfall.The managers they had were jerks for the most part.This one guy I knew worked several years for them and one day they told him his job was gone.He was one of the best people that worked for them,he knew his music and he knocked down the price on the cd`s often for me.
i always liked tower records cause it was so easy to shoplift from, and they had such a good selection. i dont think the employees cared either……
Dude the employees were some of the worst shoplifters
I also remember the guys in Receiving would open albums, burn copies, then use their shrinkwrapping machine to seal them back up. They really made out with those $100 box sets!
Ah, young adulthood.

So that`s why some new cd`s I buy look like they`ve been played
could be…they also used to accept returned cds that had been played, and may have re-sold them as well. you guys didn’t hear any of this from me though
