That is sad, but kind of expected.

But seriously, why do the shops do that? Why does nobody complaint? Do Japanese people really like those jingles?

I've heard that some places, such as train stations, did away with jingles (etc.) to bring more silence. The feedback was that those places felt "lonely."
