McDonald’s best attribute is probably that it’s great drunk food, which is good for the company’s bottom line, but it also attracts some rowdier crowds.
How does McDonald’s deal with those crowds? According to Mirror, it’s playing classical music in some of its UK restaurants to help calm people down.
A McDonald’s spokesperson said: “We have tested the effects of classical music in the past and played it in some of our restaurants as it encourages more acceptable behaviour.
“Typically, classical music is played from early evening onwards, and in some cases, on certain nights in a small number of restaurants.”
That’s quite the strategy! Classical music is known to have a calming effect on humans, and it certainly detracts from any kind of rager vibe. We’ll see if this tactic makes its way to any McDonald’s restaurant in the US.
