- Add my name to the list of IGNORED CUSTOMERS AT CUSTOM SOUNDS (Burnet Rd).
- Over the past three or so years, I've dropped into Custom Sounds three or
- four times. NONE of the visits ever yielded an approach by anyone. I
- like to give a store/restaurant the benefit of the doubt (bad day, busy,
- etc.) so I did return, but to no avail. On two separate occasions I
- explicitly asked for help and after waiting for 20 mins. or so I just
- gave up and left. I don't foresee myself returning to that store.
