A McDonald’s restaurant near Sydney, Australia, has been blasting opera and classical music in the late hours to deter teens from hanging out, according to video from geobeats.
Restaurant managers got the idea from nearby community who played Barry Manilow tunes to keep youths from hanging out at a car park.
“We’ve noticed a reduction in the number of young people hanging around, but we’ll have to reassess it properly in a couple of weeks,” one McDonald’s manager says.
Workers turn up the volume as the crowd gets bigger, geobeats says. One woman complained on social media that the loud music has woken her up as late as 1 a.m.
Thanks bunches, McDonald’s. Really.
