Classical Music Stops Loitering
Shoppers and employees say an Ohio convenience store has fewer people hanging around and hassling customers since the business started blaring classical music.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Shoppers and employees say an Ohio convenience store has fewer people hanging around and hassling customers since the business started blaring classical music.

Shopper Allie Beck says the classical music is loud – she can hear it all the way down the street. But she says it's an improvement over all the people who used to ask for change or bother passers-by outside the store.

The teaser writer for this doesn't know and/or care about the meaning of "unique". Unique means the one and only. This solution is old. I've heard of it for many years. It works.
