Classical music used in British McDonalds to stem yobbish behavior

Posted on 20:22 by Unknown
Daily Mai, UK - Fast-food chain McDonald's has started playing classical music in an attempt to pacify late night customers and stop drunken fights breaking out on its premises.

Yobbish behaviour has soared in Stockport town centre including in the area around McDonald's Grand Central restaurant.

To help tackle the escalating problem, the outlet hopes playing classical music from Brahms to Beethoven will have a soothing effect on revellers, who have spilled out of the nearby clubs and pubs and are looking for something to help soak up the alcohol.

Two years ago classical music was piped into an alleyway near Councillor Lane in Cheadle to try and disperse nuisance youths.

But it is the first time it has been used inside a business.
