    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.

      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.

      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?

      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

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