For the most part, Tower also allows its buyers a lot of leaway.  I too
worked for Sound Warehouse.  I ran Dallas' all classical store for a few
years until Blockbuster came along and killed the company!  What a bunch of
morons.  That Blockbuster music is now Wherehouse is poetic justice.  AND,
I might add, that Wherehouse is starting to get a good selection of new
classical releases again.  Something which the big BM hadn't had for
months!
