Other than guitar shops, what other shops get you excited.

jonnyburgo

Comic shops and book shops, second hand record shops

Deadman

'Vintage' clothes shops, junk shops, toy shops that have lots of die cast vehicles on display.

Guitar shops don't actually excite me, I mostly hate going in there, same for most shops actually which is why i get most things online! I do like a good bike shop though even though new mtb prices are ridiculous. The smell of new tyres is great and I can ogle the bikes I'll never afford.

Sadly,as my physique will confirm........RESTAURANTS 

usedtobe

Tk maxx, especially the shoe section. I'm so not into clothes, it's ridiculous. But  shoes..!!!

bluechargeboy

- Outdoor shops with assembled tents on display
- Delicatessens
- Curry houses

Edit: Actually @usedtobe, I like a nice browse of shoes/boots. Only got 14 pairs at present though.

Sassafras

Knocking shops.

Good call - I can't walk out of IKEA without a bunch of stuff I didn't realise I needed.

And I've only been into a pet shop once in the last five years or so - it was just along the road from a venue I was playing in Kings Heath in Birmingham, and we went to have a look after finishing soundcheck. I wanted all the bunnies. And the parrot.

Two of the bunnies started humping each other while we were watching.

Second-hand record shops, obviously.

Remaindered/clearance bookshops. You get a very eclectic mix of books, and they are priced without the insanity that some second-hand bookshops embrace in their pricing.

Pound shops. Thngs I never knew existed, or that I needed, and which rarely fail to be utter crap.

boogieman

Charity shops for me too.

Forbidden Planet is a good one. 

Pretty much hate shops though

Takes all sorts to make a world - I'd rather go to the dentist than Swedish Pine Hell.

When I lived in gateshead I sometimes used to pop in Ikea just for food, Unlimited refills, cheap quorn hotdog and fries, lovely. Then walk on over to pets at home to look at the rabbits.

There was a Lego shop when I went to Cardiff, could have spent ages there if it wasn't full of kids. Love going in Maplin too, just looking at stuff I don't need but is cool.
