Hello? It’s called being environmentally responsible? Like turning out the lights when you leave a room? Turning off the faucet when you’re not using the water?
Besides, if you keep the Muzak turned on, then it eventually wears out and slows down. You haven’t heard anything until you’ve heard “Feelin’ Groovy” played at one-eighth speed.
Afterward, you might not hear anything else, ever again…
You have been warned.
