I was driving along Fairway Road South and stopped at a light. I saw a rather small sign on a tiny…read morepatch of grass for The Beat Goes On. It said that it was in a plaza coming up. I kept that in mind. It's amusing to me that I have spent a ton of time at Farm Boy that I never noticed The Beat Goes On. It's across from Farm Boy. One day, I went into Farm Boy and came out without buying a thing. It shocked me. Perhaps I have spent so much time there that I have everything that I need. I left my car parked in a decent spot in front of the supermarket and walked over to The Beat Goes On. This store sells new and used CDs, DVDs, cassettes, records, and video games. There are also turntables and move. I would say that there is more used merchandise. I absolutely love going to such music stores. I can easily spend an hour there, which is exactly what I did. I got some nice used CDs at cheap prices. There was an Erasure CD that I didn't have in my collection. It was mine for $3. I also got a couple of solo CD albums by Dave Gahan, the lead singer of Depeche Mode. I picked up a couple of records (vinyl to the younger crowd). Pet Shop Boys released Super a couple of years ago. The record version of this album was 50% off. Without any hesitation, I snatched it up. I also got a used Dirty Dancing record for $2. I am late to the Dirty Dancing bandwagon. Last year, I watched the movie for the first time on a flight back to Toronto from Shanghai. I have always loved the music from the movie, but never got the album until now! The used collection of records is impressive here. They are on the floor, so you may want to stretch now and again while you flip through everything. The man at the counter fetching my CDs was friendly and personable. I had a wonderful experience here. I also enjoyed all the Beatles music being played while I was browsing. He was wearing a Beatles shirt, too. I will be coming back here again when I'm in this vicinity. (267)

It has a monster selection, but you really get a feel that everything is curated down from the travel selection down to the magazines. Even the kids section is fantastic and my son really loved our visit. They do a variety of special events and the staff are just super nice. You owe yourself the favour and go hang out at The Book Shelf for a while.

I love Guelph. This bookstore has the worst staff I have ever encountered in any local business.

I was horrified to hear the staff berating a woman who had her mask down in the store. The ignorant staffer asked if she had a virology degree and insisted that a cloth mask was mandatory even though the woman had put it back up. Even Fauci at this point has said cloth masks don't stop the spread of this virus. It's disturbing that staff can be belligerent to customers as mandates are about to be dropped literally tomorrow. Never will I shop here again.
