As a Tower employee, I am going out on a limb here to comment, but here
goes.  Tower is following the very same pattern that every other major
record store chain I have worked for followed.  (I have worked for four
now).  I am actively seeking other employment, and will resort to internet
sources and direct mail for my product.  I can't defend this policy at all
and I am resigned to the fact that the bean counters will always win.
