I have had issues with music in shops for years now, because hearing certain songs in public can feel like a dropkick and a swift exit is necessary.

I can always increase the volume on whatever I'm listening to if I don't like the soundtrack, but having to work customer service in silence is a cruel task.
The cost is the one legitimate reason I can see for going silent, but I also think that in a world with shrinking revenues and outlets for music to be heard publicly, that would be a net negative overall.
