Questions 26-29• When you eat in a restaurant, do you ever pay attention to the

kind of music being played? Some restaurants play pop music, and others play none at all. Often we don’t notice the music, but it greatly affects our behavior. The smartest restaurant managers know that anything like Bach or Mozart is the best kind of music to play. Why? Scientists believe customers spend more money when they are listening to classical or jazz music. At the same time, they spend the least amount of money and stay the shortest length of time when no music is being played. So, if you don’t want to spend too much money, ask the waiter to turn off the music. If someone is treating you to dinner, ask to go somewhere that plays classical music.
