I said no and told him it would be a 30 mins until he sang. about an hour after he sang his song he asked if $50 would allow him to sing next. I told him no but I told him I would give him my spot which sould probably be at the end of the night. He persisted to ask me if he could get to sing next. Again I said no, then he laid $100 down and ask if he could sing next.
likie the saying goes "A fool and his money are quickly parted" I took the $100 and got him up next. Well I had a hard time getting to sleep cause I hate to do that to my regulars but $100 is alot of money to throw away on one song.

So let me ask this If someone came up and handed you $1000.00 whould you get them up next? If not is there a price you would? $5000.00
You probably didn't hurt anybody's feeling that night. Where there were that many singers it is hard to imagine anyone keeping constant track of a 60 man rotation. This guy might come back, bring friends, hire you for his next three daughter's weddings, and on it goes. The bar made money as a result, and that is your real job to the bar owner as well. If that same guy offered the bartender a 100 dollar tip to get his drink right away, I bet he would get it out soon for him, and bar owner happy too.
