Customers can listen to any album in the store before buying. Not unprecedented in the history of music retail sales of course, but since the advent of shrink wrap, a virtually forgotten practice.
The logical extension of this listening policy was their attitude towards returns. Even after purchasing a record, taking it home and playing it, customers still had ten days in which to return it – for whatever reason they chose! Whether they accidentally bought a live album by mistake, forgot that they already had the record at home, or just didn't like it, no questions were asked and a full exchange was provided. As long as the product returned to Waterloo Records in the same condition it went out in, both customer and store enjoyed a symbiotic relationship – Waterloo provided the leeway and trusted they wouldn't abuse it.
