I once did that on St. Patrick’s Day but with $20 worth of Flogging Molly - Drunken Lullabies. Except for I hit every bar in town.

Get there, get a pitcher of beer with green food coloring, order up $20 worth of Drunken Lullabies, then go on to the next bar once it starts playing. I think most of them were like 2-3 plays per dollar so 40-60 times…

By the time I had gotten to the last bar, there were a couple people crying. Like EVERY single bar in town was only playing Drunken Lullabies all day.

My God it was glorious.

I hate to be that guy, but all the stories in this thread are fake because the bartenders can just skip the songs. For exactly this reason. As if the people who designed these machines didn’t think of this exact thing.

Do they know they can? I’m guessing they need the app to do it. I’m guessing, because I’ve successfully done this twice.

There is a physical remote control device for the touch tunes machine which can be used to control the volume and playback and stuff.

And they all have this? I’ve seen bartenders go all the way up to the machine and use and pay like a regular customer when I’m sure they would’ve used the remote if they had it

I m the bartender and I will not skip the song I want to see them suffer.

Also there is no other bar around so they will come back. With fear.

Some bars, but not all. I have worked a few places where they don’t let us skip the jukebox.

They might even skip songs they don’t like. If you don’t want me playing Lamb of God why the fuck is it available in the jukebox?

I don’t know about these modern things like shown in the meme, but all the juke boxes in my area when a place has one at all, is old as fuck (most of them still use 45’s) and can’t skip songs. At least, not without unplugging and resetting the whole machine.

I genuinely like this song. I wouldn’t want to listen to it over and over, but I wouldn’t with any song

Waaaaaay back, I was at the student center bowling alley at NIU in DeKalb, IL. Dumped a $20 bill into the jukebox and played every Led Zeppelin song they had.

About twenty minutes later, I hear, “WHO THE FUCK PLAYED ALL THIS FUCKING ZEPPELIN?”

Fifteen minutes after that: “JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!”

This ranks as one of the proudest moments of my life.
