Helpful and friendly staff
I picked up a on-line order and bought another album whilst in store. The staff were friendly and helpful and it is always a pleasure to visit my local HMV. They also have a great selection of vinyl.

HMV Rude, Hard selling, staff.
HMV make their staff approach customers and ask if they need any help.... this was a thing that I had thought had died out in the 1990s because most customers, like myself, hated it as a a Hard-sell tactic. HMV was one of the few places that did not do it back then..... so to find HMV Newbury doing it in the 20202s was most off-putting.
I put up with it a few times, but when I went in yesterday and was asked the questio within 30 seconds of steping in the door I had to reply "sorry, but I hate being asked that question".... to which the staff member replied "unfortunate for you".
Not only was that remark highly unprofessional but incredibly rude.
I will not be a customer of HMV again.
