I went to a local bar today to watch the College World Series final. Bartender says they can’t play the sound for the game because more patrons want to play the jukebox than watch the game. There are about 12 people in the bar total, including my party of 4. This seems silly, seeing as how it’s a sports bar and there aren’t any other major sporting events occurring at the same time as this game.

I decide that since the patrons want the jukebox, the jukebox is what they’ll get. I cue up the Cotton Eyed Joe by Rednex 6 times in a row and pay the extra to bump it to the front of the queue. After the first play through. The jukebox skips to a different song. We call the manager over, ask him to refund our jukebox money since he won’t play our song, and he says he’d rather listen to Cotton Eyed Joe 6 times than refund the money. He comes back a few minutes later, hands us $13 cash to cover the songs and turns on the sound for the baseball game. Turns out his patrons didn’t want to listen to the jukebox that badly after all.
