To deal with vagrancy issues and petty crime, Walgreens stores in Memphis have installed speakers to loudly play classical music in the parking lot.
The tactic, which has been used in Chicago and Los Angeles, is intended to deter loitering from homeless people and others, who sometimes harass customers. In Memphis, groups of about 10-15 people were loitering around in one of the Walgreens parking lots before the initiative was started, according to Fox13.
“At various locations, we have implemented a recorded music loop that plays outside of the store to help deter loitering on the premises. We take steps to ensure the music is only loud enough for the immediate area around the store and cannot be heard by residents in surrounding neighborhoods,” Walgreens said.
The music is being played at several Walgreens locations throughout the crime-plagued city through a mobile camera and speaker system. At one location, the music can be heard from across the street, WREG reported.
Some city residents have enjoyed the music while others have said that it gets annoying.
“Everybody else listens to hip-hop, pop, rock and everything else,” Chris Worsham, who listens to the music while at his bus stop, told Fox13. “Classical? Yeah, I don’t think they’ll stick around too long and try to Memphis jerk on that.”
Another person said that the music was getting annoying. “I thought, ‘Oh there is a band playing and they’re really good.’ Then, the next day, I was like, ‘They’re still playing.’ And later that night, they’re still playing,” said Cameron Cooley, who works nearby, said. “I understand why they are using the music, but it’s the same key all day, the same music. It can be a deterrent and it definitely deters me.”
Memphis has consistently ranked as one of the most dangerous cities in America, and has seen property and violent crime increase in the last year. Its murder rate is in the top ten worst in the U.S.
The strategy for deterrence using classical music has also been used by Walgreens stores in Chicago and the Los Angeles Metro, which started playing classical music at a downtown subway station in April.
The Metro’s operations and security team worked with law enforcement to play symphonies, concertos, and piano sonatas by composers such as Beethoven, Mozart, and Vivaldi, in the Westlake/MacArthur Park Metro station starting in January.

They will have to quit when all the blacks are pushed into yelling that classical music “be racist.” They won’t think of it on their own. Jews always push blacks into acting the way they want them to act.
Deter the savage beast? You mean Tyrone, Boonquisha and their little shitlets? No, the music will not deter them. One, they’re not hanging out longer than they have to, just to grab the “gibsmuhdat” and their rapperations as they pronounce it.
Allegedly, if country music is played in a restaurant, the spooks won’t come in and dine. Well, that is BS. I dropped in a Texas Roadhouse recently and noticed a filthy race traitorous white whore with her negro pet slobbering all over their dinner plates; that’s how savages eat. Sounding like cows chewing their cud.
Play Opera….that’ll annoy them!
I was playing Classical at the hospital once, with no head-phones, on a fifty-year-old radio, and a filipino male nurse liked it and wanted it turning up, but a Yorkshire woman hated it, which surprised me. She wanted a crass commercial station on, to inspire her with energy to work. I have wondered before whether low-level music might be appropriate to low-level work; builders always have xhitty music on
They should also play lots of opera! That’ll really freak out the crims! It worked for a friend of mine who had crass, low-class neighbours. He opera-ised them, and they moved away! LOL!
Makes sense…
since something tells me that ‘Twerking to Tchaikovsky’ will never take off in da parking lot!
🤣
As long as they don’t play the 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky. Might give them ideas 😉

Deter ‘Vagrants’…code for ‘negroes’.
they should play Funeral march of Chopin
steadily repeating .
Some Sousa marches & bagpipe music may broaden the vagrants’ horizons.
Funny stuff. Memphis is an utter shithole, infested with less-than-worthless street simians who offer nothing but degradation and destruction. Any place suicidal enough to allow a black population of more than 5% is doomed, and the ideal percentage of blacks in a western society is 0. Memphis is one of those cities that have nothing to offer anymore; it shot its load over 50 years ago and is good for nothing unless you’re into being raped, robbed at gunpoint, or murdered for a pair of used shoes.
