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
I say go ahead and piss em off. Why you would want to hang out at a bar where the bartender dictates the music (unless that's understood before you go in) anyway?
I know that when the girl said to her boyfriend... "No. She played THIS" He had probably said something to her like "Oh ... It's that chick with the Pearl Jam." or something.
He wanted it turned off just because I had played Pearl Jam. He knew exactly who played it and just wanted to be an ass.
The bartender went along with it. They were probably friends. Oh well. $10. That's 3 gallons of gas in my car and not his!
I'm a Pearl Jam loving girl that has seen the band 57 times.
You are also a Pearl Jam loving girl who takes her juke box seriously and has made a thread that I didn't think would go past 1 page, now turn into 3 at this point.

exactly... if there's a jukebox, it's the clientele who dictate the music, no fucking barman who thinks he's wonderful who, at the end of the day, is just a barman. If that happened to me, I'd kick up a fucking STORM... complain to the manager... leave NO tip... and never go back again. Doesn't the tipping system basically make you his boss... so fire him.

What a different life
Had I not found this love with you
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?
HE WOULD Of GOT ZIPPO,,AND I WOULD HAVE GIVEN the 2 customers a piece of my mind

I think you confused us at the, "Last night my girlfriend and I got there about 10 pm."
Hence all of us thought you were a dude. Who just happens to call bars "cute."
I say go ahead and piss em off. Why you would want to hang out at a bar where the bartender dictates the music (unless that's understood before you go in) anyway?
Yeah. I noticed that "girlfriend" thing myself. Sorry. And for the record... I'm not a lesbian.
Not that there's anything wrong with it!
i thought she was a gay dude.
Well I think our attitudes all have changed now!!
If you were some dude, we all could give a shit and would break your balls all day about your story.

I usually leave a single penny for a tip in these situations
