\n

Some 7-Eleven convenience stores<\/a> around the country, including in Texas and California have started using roaring classical and opera music as a tactic to deter homeless people from camping out in front of their storefronts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One Texas 7-Eleven owner says the goal is to deter homeless individuals from being there and harassing customers. Some customers say they’re all for the music, while others are annoyed by it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The store owner, Jagat Patel, says no one from the Austin Police Department<\/a> has shown up, despite officials receiving multiple noise complaints from blasting classical tunes. He doesn’t know whether the actual decibel level falls within city ordinance, but told FOX 7 that he is planning on lowering volume.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Patel says the homeless population has been a big problem<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

He says he’s had to pay a professional to clean up needles. Others who work nearby say they’ve been attacked by homeless people.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I have to carry this big old knife with me just to defend myself, it’s sad that you have to do that,” Joe Miranda, who works nearby, told Fox 7.<\/p>\n

Patel says he started playing the music about 10 days ago and got the idea because other store owners around the country began doing the same.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

Since Patel and other businesses nearby began playing classical and opera music<\/a>, they’ve noticed a difference.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Now since they’ve had this music going on, we have less traffic down with the homeless out here,” Joe Miranda, a local business owner, told Fox 7.<\/p>\n

Miranda says he thinks it’s the right solution.<\/p>\n

“It’s helping out, it’s not annoying to us because it doesn’t bother us, but it bothers probably them because they’re doing drugs,” he said.<\/p>\n

Others disagree, calling the music “obnoxious” while going shopping and filling up the tank with gas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I believe, just talk to them, and ask them not to hang around, or not to live around, whatever, I think that’s the best solution,” Frederick Carter, who lives nearby, said.<\/p>\n

He says he’s started going other nearby 7-Eleven store<\/a> that doesn’t have music playing.<\/p>\n

“This music is not very good, it’s loud, it’s obnoxious to me, I don’t like it, you can hear it a long ways off, it’s very disturbing,” he said.<\/p>\n

Texas convenience stores aren’t the only store tapping into Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven, with 7-Elevens in California following suit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In Los Angeles, California<\/a>, 7-Eleven owners began to play classical music to help employees and customers alike feel safe amid a continued spike in homelessness in the area.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The owner of a California 7-Eleven, Sukhi Sandhu, told The Modesto Bee<\/a> that he began playing opera and classical music last year in an effort to drive out panhandlers and other loiterers from the convenience store.<\/p>\n

“Once the music started, the riffraff left,” Manuel Souza told the local paper. “It’s hard to hang out and gossip and joke around.”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
