That is what we ended up leaving the bartender last night...
Here's the story:
I recently moved and there is a cute little pub across the street. Even prior to moving in I started to hang there a bit and now go there with some regularity.
People tend to play good music on the jukebox and a lot of people play Pearl Jam. I have a habit of playing a lot of Pearl Jam on the jukebox. It costs $1 a song.
Last night my girlfriend and I got there about 10 pm. We were drinking, playing pool, and having fun. She bought the bartender a shot of Patron and things were going well Around 10:30 I played Corduroy. No other Pearl Jam had been played all night. Around 12:15 I put $3 in the jukebox. I played the Foo Fighters, then I Got Shit and SOLAT. When I walked away from the jukebox the Foos were playing and I heard a chick at the bar say to her boyfriend "No. She played THIS."
So. We were going to leave when my tunes were over. I Got Shit comes on and THE dude asks the bartender to cancel the song and the bartender says "Sure!" and axes the tune! I was like "What?!" then I said "and at a dollar a tune?" The guy goes "oh...what you want your dollar. here." So of course I took it. I also took $10 out of the bartenders tip. And we split.
What do you guys think about this story?

I figured someone would say something like that.
I'm curious as to what others may have done in the situation.
Not whether or not it is worthy of publishing or anything.
Therefore the DUDE in your story cannot be referred to as a DUDE but more along the lines as a 'musically uneducated moron'.....long live the big lebowski.
You've got quite a good point there, you know.
May need to edit the story.
so this is the place your planning on taking me because now i guess we will just order bottled beer & no food he he he ,but that sucks that some asshole would request that .......
The request isn't the real issue.
Anyone can request whatever they want.
The issue is the bartender who was so disrespectful as to just shut a song off that I had clearly just paid money to hear about three minutes earlier.
We are friendly and we tip well. I think it was really rude and not too bright on his part. I wonder if the other guy left him $10 EXTRA on his tip for the bartender dicking us over like that.
You were leaving anyway. Whats the difference?

I guess people here are a lot more interested in people's acne and issues with their clothing not fitting correctly. Or their shitty jobs.
Shit.
(Not to mention that THIS story is PEARL JAM related!)
Whatever guys.
Just tell me without all the abuse please?
Sweep the Leg Johnny.
AFTER The songs.
If i didn't want to hear them I wouldn't have played them would I have....
state of love and trust
no i understand that but i would never request for a song no matter wich song it is to be cut off knowing someone paid for it, so yeah the bartender is an ass for honoring such a request as is the couple who asked for the song to be cut off ...

Come on man, don't get all crappy on us. Just turn on your Ipod and listen to some Pearl Jam songs. It's gonna be alright.
Chill out, I'm not picking a fight. It sounded like you were walking out when the song came on. If that is not the case then ok.
Sweep the Leg Johnny.
He had just given me the change and the bar wasn't crowded. He definitely knew.
Just tell me please
Sweep the Leg Johnny.
Sorry.
are you serious?
Oh yea, fuck that guy then. And fuck the guys giving you a hard time. Like everyone else creates thread that could rival the fucking best seller list.
Just got a new I-Pod!
Yippee!! Except for that my i-tunes crashed.... And my old ipod had over 1700 PJ tunes. That's going to be fun to reload! Just happy I was able to get a new one!! (And some dude from the gym loaded it with like 300 songs for me. But only 5 Pearl Jam. Lucky me!
he would not have recieved one cent from me AND I would not go there again
it's the principle of the matter
it's plain and simple customer service. Unfortunately that's becoming a thing of the past in this country and it's going to bite us in the ass one of these days
dude how do you know that the chick hadnt put ten bucks in prior to your selections and the machine wasnt playing them-perhaps the barkeep was gonna play those songs
most bartenders know how to work the machine-and would probably play whatever you wanted if you were tipping him well
and in the future, i would never piss off a bartender over a dollar-they know tricks
and in my experience putting dollar in those machines can be a crapshoot
Well...I'm not a dude. I'm a cute friendly chick (and we have met...you and I...anyway...)
They hadn't. The bar is small and I was sitting right in front of the jukebox.
And we just left him a normal crappy tip like a lot of people leave. This is the exact type of bar I have bartended in a lot.
Believe me. I know exactly what went down and how it went down. It was just run of the mill disrespectful bullshit.
OOOPS!
We met? At the meet up? SORRY. Please refresh my horrible memory.
anyway, if thats the case, dick move
bad service=bad tips
Moronic thing to do. Many a bar have lost my business (either in repeat business, or order size) due to the cooler than thou factor.
