There's no science behind it, but Walgreens is the latest chain to blast classic music to deter people from loitering outside their stores.
Only certain Walgreens locations in Chicago have the caged speakers so far, playing a short playlist including Bach and Rossini's "William Tell Overture" on repeat.
"I don't know how it does that. I think it's an interesting idea, I'd like to understand the science behind if somebody has figured it out," said customer English Dixon. In a written statement, the corporation said that for more than a year it has implemented a loop of classical music at certain locations nationwide, including Chicago.
There is no music yet at the South Loop Walgreens where Robert Jackson, a 63-year-old unhoused Chicagoan, likes to hang out because it's shady. He said a loop of music wouldn't deter him from leaving; he would welcome it.
