NOTE: The store in the thumbnail is Olympic Records in Rhode Island - they are not an offender of these issues and I just used a random record store image for the thumbnail. If you’re near them, give em a visit!!

Charging top dollar for commonly found classic rock albums.
-
Man. The price on the jacket. That’s literally the worst.
-
One thing I LOVE is when a store has a listening station!!!
-
As a record store owner, just wanted to throw out there that we are forever grateful to our customers that support us! Especially through c*vid and quarantine. It was rough and we were fortunate to be able to open our doors back up! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

1. Records stuffed wayy too tightly into bins. 2. Rows that go back too far for arms to reach/flip through (I’m a lady so this happens a LOT) or hard to get to bins (under stuff on the floor). I don’t mind digging but sticking my head under a table is weird. Getting up to let people’s by in a cramped area is rough, & squatting with no stool is painful. 3. Mis-grading records 4. Extreme overpricing 5. Putting price stickers ON the jacket 😩
-
The overpriced records yes. The thrift stores seem to do this too. It's annoying if a record is beat up and used its shouldn't be around $20.
-
When the record store clerks don't acknowledge your existence, but if an attractive girl comes in they immediately become employee of the month
-
I went to a record store near me that was ALL used vinyl. The cheapest album in the store was $25.00. $25.00 for USED vinyl?
-
One of the most annoying things to me is when a record store stuff so much into one little section of with the records so you can barely look through the records. It happens a lot here especially with hip hop sections because they're space is very limited.
-
i hate how little Hip-Hop is represented in record stores... i cant tell you how many places i've been where they have 1 bin of hip hop and its 7 different MF doom albums, 1 outkast record and 20 12' singles from the late 80's...
-
even charity shops are charging too much for scratched records .
-
Store in Delaware just getting into the "vinyl craze" pricing dollar bin stuff at $25! I should have known when they had a sign in front...."Yes, we have Vinyls!" 🤣
-
When you’re checking out of the store and the owner disapproves of the selections you made in his own store.🙄
-
I really like when the store owner is friendly and answers all of your questions. If they aren’t friendly makes record shopping suck
-
I just experienced this last week on RSD: This guy put records in crates and boxes and then STACKED the boxes/crates on top of other boxes/crates of records. Huh?? Not only does it make it impossible for me to look through everything because I have to move an entire box to see the box underneath, but wow, that's no way to take care of records...
-
1. Refusing to have sales on albums that has been sitting on the shelves for years. 2. Excuses 3. Taking all my money cause I have no character...
-
I absolutely despise when record stores stuff the records in the bins. I want to see them not feel i’m gonna break them trying to look.
-
OVERPRICED RECORDS. Nothing better than strapping in and going hunting but who the hell is pricing this stuff? It’s insulting, I’m sure they fool some but let’s get real, I’m not paying double the price to support a business that either A) doesn’t take the time to properly price their product or B) trying to scam people out of money. I’ll have my records shipped to my house thank you very much.

pet peeve - owners with bad attitudes towards amazon but also bad attitudes toward customers
-
My pet peeve: Alphabetizing some records by last name, some by first name. If you're looking for a particular artist, it's difficult to know where to start.
