This strategy was put in place to prevent the adolescents from hanging out in McDonald's through the late hours of the night.
Is the strategy working? Well, the store's operations manager, Matthew Watson, stated that "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."
People in the neighbourhood around the McDonald's have also noticed that teenagers are causing less fuss and lingering around in the parks less after hours. In fact, the McDonald's restaurant apparently turns up their music really loud when they notice teenagers lingering in the car park. This causes the teenagers to leave almost immediately.
Of course, there have been a few people who are genuinely confused as to why teenagers are fleeing classical music, as if it is unbearable to listen to. Most people find it soothing, and some have even stated that they might stay at the McDonald's restaurants even longer.
