THEY USED TO SELL COFFEE, YOU KNOW

Starbucks continuing morphing into a record shop continues apace: they're introducing CD racks in their US and Canadian stores, in order to offer a wider range.

It's not known if HMV is intending to sell iced coffees and overpriced muffins in response. (Actually, the Brighton Virgin Megastore did used to have an American-style soda bar on its mezzanine level when we were hairy; we only ever saw the staff drinking in there, and eventually the ripped it out to make room for the vinyl albums when they increased CD floorspace).

OMG, that soda bar in the old Virgin on Western Road. You should be glad you never tried it, I very foolishly did once. And just the once. I had problems seeing clearly after a drink and a pancake-type thing there, such were the sugar levels involved...
