Seven Dollars

AnnaMelinda

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.

There's only "one" DUDE I know and he always abides....the dude abides.

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.

Go back tonight, ask for an ice water, and go play $1 worth of Barry Manilow.

You've got quite a good point there, you know.

May need to edit the story.

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.

When I saw the title "Seven Dollars" I thought someone was posting about their shitty tax return, but never in a million years did I think it would be this incredible story.

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.

Did the bartender know you picked the songs or did they think the jukebox was on the random tunes list?

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.

He had just given me the change and the bar wasn't crowded. He definitely knew.
