But if they REALLY wanted annoying they would play Slim Whitman yodeling.
Owners of 7-Eleven stores in Austin, Texas and California play classical and opera music to try and get rid of the homeless around their stores.
Store owner in Austin says "...the homeless population has been a big problem.
'Especially a lot of my female customers and my young customers are scared to come here, because there are people constantly hanging out in the parking lot soliciting for money,' he said.
...(The owner) started playing the music about 10 days ago and got the idea because other store owners around the country began doing the same.
'Studies have shown that the classical music is annoying. Opera is annoying, and I’m assuming they are correct because it’s working,' he said."
