7-Eleven Stores Blare Classical Music to Deter Homeless Individuals from Loitering: ‘It’s Working’
Jag Patel, a 7-Eleven store owner in the Riverside neighborhood of Austin, recently started playing loud opera music to dissuade homeless people from hanging outside his storefront who made customers feel unsafe, Fox 7 reported. After hearing about the measure from other owners, he started using it and says it is working.
“Studies have shown that the classical music is annoying. Opera is annoying, and I’m assuming they are correct because it’s working,” Patel told the outlet.
What a great idea!
Love it and hopefully it continues to work for the store owners!
